These Crispy Mummy Jalapeno Popper Wraps combine smoky bacon, melty cheese, and spicy jalapenos wrapped in flaky crescent dough for a fun and delicious snack perfect for Halloween or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh medium-sized jalapenos, thinly sliced (deseed for less heat)
  • 68 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (100 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 package (8 oz / 227 g) crescent roll dough
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces once cooled.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, cooked bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly blended.
  4. Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, press seams to form one large rectangle, and cut into 1-inch wide strips.
  5. Thinly slice jalapenos, removing seeds if desired for less heat.
  6. Spread a small spoonful of the cheese and bacon mixture along the center length of each dough strip. Add 2-3 jalapeno slices on top of the filling.
  7. Wrap dough strips diagonally around the filling to create a mummy-like look, leaving small gaps to show the filling.
  8. Brush the wrapped dough with egg wash to achieve a golden finish.
  9. Place wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill the dough strips to prevent tearing or leaking. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Cook bacon crisp but not burnt. Wrap dough loosely for mummy effect and steam escape. Brush with egg wash for golden sheen. Bake until just golden to avoid drying out filling. Can assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Freeze assembled wraps on a sheet tray before transferring to freezer bag for longer storage.
