Step-by-Step Instructions for Mummy Jalapeño Poppers

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Halve the jalapeños and remove the seeds while wearing gloves to control the spice level.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and shredded pepper jack cheese until smooth and creamy.
Unroll the crescent dough and slice it into ¼-inch strips to wrap around the filled jalapeños.
Place the wrapped poppers on the baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
After baking, cool slightly and press candy eyeballs into the gaps in the dough.
