Jalapeño Popper Mummies are poppers dressed up in time for Halloween, with crescent roll dough and a kickin’ seasoning. These are fun to make, even better to eat and a good contrast to all the candy.
It’s your favorite sassy food blogger back with another jalapeño recipe just in time for Halloween.
Confused?
We’re making Jalapeño Popper Mummies.
I know what you’re thinking – ‘how basic‘ <—- (Insert eye roll here). But hold onto your broomsticks, dear readers, because these mummies are anything but ordinary.
What are Jalapeno Popper Mummies?
We’re taking the classic jalapeño popper and giving it a fun twist and some fantastic flavor with Spiceology’s Guac and Roll salt-free seasoning. These are so good, they’ll make your taste buds scream… in delight, of course.
We’re also making an oh-so-good Cilantro Lime Ranch to dip these mummies in.
Ingredients to Make Your Jalapeño Popper Mummies
Let’s gather our ingredients. It’s like casting a spell, but with delicious food.
You’ll need fresh jalapeno peppers, Spiceology’s Guac and Roll seasoning, cream cheese, and the always delicious Cabot Cheese Snack Sticks (any of them will work). You’ll also need apricot preserves, pepper flakes and garlic powder so we can make the apricot dipping sauce.
Everything has to have a condiment.
These Jalapeño Popper Mummies are the perfect addition to your Halloween spread. They’re a little spicy, a little cheesy, and a whole lot of fun with that fantastic Guac and Roll twist.
They will also balance everything out between all the candy, candied apples, and other Halloween desserts.
Somebody has to bring out the spicy sass.
Halloween is all about getting creative and having a spooky good time. These mummies may not be able to dance, but they can certainly make your taste buds rock out.
Remember, in the world of food, there are no tricks, only treats. Enjoy your Halloween, and may your culinary adventures be as wild and wicked as ever.

Jalapeno Popper Mummies
A spooktacular take on jalapeno poppers, with a spicy-sweet dipping sauce.
Ingredients
For the Mummies
- 10 fresh jalapeño peppers
- 1 can crescent dough (for those mummy wrappings)
- 10 Cabot Cheese Snack Sticks, halved
- ½ cup cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Spiceology's Guac and Roll seasoning (to give it that sassy, guacamole-inspired twist
- Edible googly eyes (to give your mummies some personality)
For the Ghastly Dipping Sauce
- 2 cups Ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup salsa verde
- 1 bunch fresh Cilantro
- 1/2 lime, squeezed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep our mummies from sticking to their afterlife bed.
- Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise, and don't forget to wear some kitchen gloves unless you want to experience the fiery wrath of jalapeño fingers later. Scoop out the seeds and membranes to tame the heat a bit.
- Combine cream cheese with Guac and Roll Seasoning.
- Coat the mozzarella sticks with cream cheese. Now, they're ready to be our little mummy souls.
- Place each cream cheese-covered mozzarella stick inside a jalapeño half, like a snug little mummy coffin.
- Cut your crescent quarters in strips and wrap them around each jalapeño, crisscrossing to create that mummy look. Leave a little space at the top for the eyes.
- Sprinkle more Guac and Roll over your mummified peppers, making them look extra crispy and delightful.
- Place your mummies on the prepared baking sheet and slide them into the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the crescent dough is slightly brown and the jalapeños are tender.
- To make the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor, adding more of each ingredient if needed as you taste.
