The recipe uses fresh jalapenos. These will be a bit spicy depending on the peppers used, but the cheese and wrapped dough make them delicious with just enough heat.
They are almost as easy to make as our Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs.

I will warn we used candy eyes for these, which some people may find weird. I get it, why candy in jalapeno popper!
But it was the easiest way to make these little guys look really mummy-like. However if you rather, you could use something like olives cut up instead.
Either way, your guests will probably remove the eyes before eating these Halloween poppers anyway.

These jalapeno poppers will only take about 15 minutes to prep so they are quick and easy.
If you’re short of time on your party day and want to serve them fresh, you can make the filling ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a day or two before filling your jalapenos.
Ok! Now down to how to make these delicious Halloween themed appetizers.
Ingredients needed for Mummy Jalapeno Poppers
- 6 Large Jalapeno peppers
- 1 Package refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 oz. Cream cheese
- ½ c Shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ c Shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ tsp Chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Candy eyes
How to Make Your Spooky Appetizer
To make these tasty jalapeno poppers, start by preheating your oven to 375º.
Then slice up all of your jalapenos long ways in half, like shown below.
Carefully hollow out your jalapeno pepper halves with a spoon to remove all of the seeds inside.
If you have sensitive skin, I suggest using gloves or carefully hold your pepper halves with a towel while you scoop.
I’ve burned my hands before slicing peppers and it is NOT a fun experience. Make sure to avoid touching your eyes or nostrils too!
In a mixing bowl combine your cream cheese, cheddar and mozzarella all together.
Next add in your chili powder, salt and pepper. This gives your cheesy filling a nice spicy and savory flavor.
Mix until fully combined.
Now you can start filling each of your jalapeno popper halves with your tasty cheese mixture.
Once all of your pepper halves have been filled you can start preparing your mummy crust.
Unroll the pizza crust dough and start slicing it in longwise.
Put half of the dough off to the side and out of the way. Cut the other half of the pizza dough into thin strips.
This will be used to wrap your jalapeno poppers and turn them into delicious mummies.
Now you can start wrapping your jalapeno halves with the dough strips. Wrap strips of the dough in criss-cross patterns around each stuffed pepper.
Be sure to leave an open area at the top of your peppers to put your mummies eyes once the peppers have baked.
You’ll want your peppers to look like the one below.
Once all of your poppers are filled and wrapped, line them up on a baking sheet an inch or so apart.
Bake the poppers for 12 to 15 minutes until the dough is golden and thoroughly cooked through.
Allow your peppers to cool for at least 15 minutes and then add two candy eyes to each pepper, creating fun little mummies.
