Ingredients
- 12 whole Jalapenos sliced in half lengthwise, seeds removed
- 8 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
- 1 pound Thin Sliced Bacon
- 48 small Candy Eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Carefully slice jalapenos in half lengthwise, then scoop out seeds with a spoon (Note: I recommend wearing gloves). Place jalapeno halves onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet with the cut side up.
- Using an offset spatula or spoon, fill each jalapeno half with soft cream cheese. Use room temperature cream cheese.
- Cut each bacon strip in half lengthwise and then again widthwise. (Note: You want the bacon to look a little ragged - rough edges will add to the character of each popper). Wrap each jalapeno with a few strips of bacon to look like mummy wrapping.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes., or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before adding 2 candy eyes to each mummy. Serve warm. Enjoy!
