Transform jalapeño poppers into mummies for the cutest Halloween snack ever

Looking for a cute finger food or appetizer for your Halloween parties? Transform basic jalapeño poppers into an amazingly easy and cute mummy perfect for popping.

Start off by making regular poppers: Fresh jalapeños are halved and the seeds removed, then filled with a cream cheese mixture. To turn them into a Halloween snack, wrap each pepper up in crescent roll dough so they resemble mummies when baked. Don’t forget the candy eyes, which can be found at most craft stores or online.
