Shared

It's that time of the year to get spooky and creative with your food! Bake up these Jalapeño Popper Mummies for a Halloween get together and guaranteed you won't have any left.

Stuffed with a cream cheese mixture and wrapped in crescent roll dough cut into thin strips, these are so much fun to make and eat. You'll be amazed at the transformation into mummies when they get out of the oven. Feel free to substitute the candy eyes for a small dot of cream cheese with a piece of black olive.
