Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and take out the seeds and ribs of the pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, bacon, paprik and garlic powder.
Next take about 1-2 Tbsp of the cream cheese mixture and fill each jalapeno.
Roll out your crescent dough, pinching the perforation seams together as you go so it’s a large sheet of dough. Cut the dough into 20 strips.
Take the dough strips and wrap them around the jalapenos. The dough will get thicker when baking, so make sure you leave space for the eyes when wrapping.
Once all poppers are wrapped in dough, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the poppers start to turn a golden brown.
Take poppers out of oven and insert two eye candies while the poppers are still hot.
Notes
You can leave the stem on the peppers or remove them. Leaving them on makes eating them a little easier.
Depending on the size of your peppers, you may end up with leftover cream cheese and cheese mixture. You don’t have to use it all.
To make cutting the 20 strips of dough easier and more symmetrical, first cut the big sheet of dough half lengthwise, cut each of those pieces in half lengthwise again, and then those 4 strips get cut in 5 long strips.
Don’t wait for the mummies to cool before adding the eyes or they won’t stick.
Don’t overfill the poppers or they’ll ooze the cheese mixture out when baking.
