Instructions
To make the mummies
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
- Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the 20 jalapeño halves.
- Unroll the crescent rolls. Divide into 4 rectangles, pressing together the seam of two triangles. Using a pizza cutter, slice each rectangle lengthwise into 10 strips.
- Wrap each stuffed jalapeño first with 1 slice of cooked bacon and then with 2 strips of dough. Try to leave a space where the eyes will be. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and carefully place candy eyeballs (or olives) on each mummy.
- Cool slightly and serve warm.
