These crispy mummy-wrapped jalapeño popper bites are a fun, spooky, and delicious party snack made with crescent roll dough, cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and jalapeños. They are quick to assemble, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for Halloween gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 46 medium jalapeño peppers, deseeded and sliced into strips
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • White sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash, dry, and slice jalapeños in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs, then slice into thin strips.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Fold in jalapeño strips.
  4. Unroll crescent roll dough and press seams together to form a rectangle. Cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
  5. Place a small amount of cheese mixture at one end of a dough strip, roll it up, then wrap another strip around it in the opposite direction to resemble a mummy, leaving small gaps.
  6. Place mummies seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not overfill the mummies to prevent bursting. For less heat, remove all seeds and ribs from jalapeños. Can be frozen unbaked for up to 3 months. Reheat in oven at 350°F for crispiness.
