Jalapeno Popper Mummies by @shortstackkitchen

Yields18 ServingsPrep Time25 minsCook Time14 minsTotal Time39 mins

 8 to 10 Jalapeño Peppers
 5 oz Softened Cream Cheese
 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
 ¼ cup Sour Cream
 ¼ cup Finely Chopped Chives
 2 tsp (or to taste) Colavita Hot Chili Pepper Spread
 1 tsp Garlic Powder
 1 tsp Onion Powder
 ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
 Salt to taste
 8 oz Tube Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
 Colavita Extra-Virgin Olive Spray
 Eyeball Candies
1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Cut peppers in half, lengthwise. Use a small spoon or paring knife to remove and discard all seeds/membranes.

3

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream, chives, Colavita hot chili pepper spread, garlic powder,
onion powder and salt to taste.

4

Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half.

5

Unroll the crescent rolls onto a cutting board. Pinch together all the diagonal perforations on both sides to seal up the holes. Then
use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to help seal the perforations. Cut into thin strips, widthwise.

6

Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with 2 to 3 strips of dough, leaving some space for the eyeballs.

7

Arrange the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops with Colavita extra-virgin olive oil spray or lightly brush with an egg wash. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

8

As soon as it comes out of the oven, carefully press 2 candy eyeballs onto each popper. Cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy!
