Ingredients

Scale

12 jalapeno peppers, 3 inches long

12 slices of bacon

1 (8 ounce) cream cheese chive and onion

1 cup Colby cheese

¼ teaspoon salt

1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 ºF degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a cutting board cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Leave on the stems. Then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.

In a medium size bowl combine the cream cheese chive and onion, Colby cheese, and salt.

Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture.

Cut the bacon slices in half. Take two stuffed jalapenos pepper halves and wrap them together with a half slice of bacon.  Repeat this pattern till all the jalapenos are wrapped in bacon.

Place each bacon wrapped jalapeno on the parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

Let the peppers cool for about 15 minutes or till it cools enough to touch.

Then wrap each bacon wrapped jalapeno with the crescent roll dough triangle. Repeat this pattern till all the peppers are wrapped in the crescent roll dough.

Next is making the mummy face. Take a butter knife and insert a slit into the crescent roll wrapped pepper to make a mouth. Place two sliced olives on each pepper to make the eyes. Push down on the olives to make it stick to the dough. Repeat this pattern till all the peppers are decorated with eyes and a mouth.

Place the jalapeno mummies back into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. 


Notes

For this recipe we recommend wearing polyethylene (kitchen) gloves to avoid the burning hands and eyes from the jalapeno peppers.
