These crispy mummy jalapeño popper crescent bites are a fun and festive Halloween appetizer featuring creamy cheese filling with a spicy kick, wrapped in flaky crescent dough for a perfect balance of crispy, cheesy, and spicy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 6–8 fresh jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Black olives, sliced (for mummy eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon bits (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Press the perforations together to create one solid sheet, then cut into thin strips about ½ inch wide.
  4. Place about a teaspoon of the cheese filling at the end of each dough strip. Roll the dough around the filling, leaving a small gap for the eyes.
  5. Place two small slices of black olives on the exposed cheese area to create the mummy’s eyes.
  6. Arrange the mummy bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and crispy. Check after 10 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  8. Let the bites cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

If cheese oozes too much during baking, tighten dough wrap or chill filled strips in fridge for 10 minutes before baking. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. Softening cream cheese beforehand is important for easy mixing and spreading. For gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent dough and adjust baking time accordingly.
