These crispy mummy jalapeño popper crescent rolls are a quick and easy Halloween snack featuring creamy, spicy jalapeño popper filling wrapped in flaky crescent rolls with a fun mummy design.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4–5 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (Pillsbury recommended)
  • 12 small pepperoni slices
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Seed and finely chop the jalapeños, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture. Adjust heat or seasoning if needed.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into about 16 triangles total from 2 cans.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the jalapeño popper filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough around the filling starting at the wide end, leaving a small gap near the top for eyes.
  6. Wrap a few overlapping strips of dough around each roll to create the mummy bandages look.
  7. Place the wrapped mummies on the lined baking sheet about an inch apart.
  8. Place two pepperoni slices near the top of each roll as eyes, gently pressing them into the dough.
  9. Brush each mummy with beaten egg for a golden-brown finish.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill the rolls to prevent sogginess or bursting. Keep crescent dough cold for easier handling and flakier texture. Use an egg wash for a golden finish. Assemble quickly to avoid moisture making dough soggy. If filling leaks during baking, scoop it back inside before serving. Can swap cheeses or jalapeños for heat adjustment. Vegan and gluten-free adaptations possible.
