Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- pinch salt & garlic powder
- 10 jalapeños (medium size)
- 1 tube refrigerated Crescent rolls
- 1 egg
- candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with foil.
- In a medium size bowl, mix the softened cream cheese together with the shredded pepper jack cheese and season with a pinch of salt and garlic powder.
- Cut your jalapeños in half lengthwise, trying to leave the stems attached, and scrape out all seeds and guts. Wear disposable gloves to avoid sting.
- Stuff your halved jalapeño peppers with the prepared cheese mixture.
- Open your tube of crescent dough and smoosh the creases together to create four rectangles. Cut about 10 long strips of dough from each rectangle.
- Wrap dough strips around your stuffed jalapeños, leaving a gap for candy eyes, and place them on the sheet pan.
- Whisk an egg in a small bowl and brush it over the wrapped jalapeños.
- Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Watch closely, as baking time can vary.
- After cooling for a few minutes, place two candy eyes on the empty space between the dough.
- Enjoy immediately or within three hours of baking. They taste better after cooling!
Notes
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
- Adjust the amount of cheese and seasoning to your taste.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
