Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls
You can even make this crescent roll appetizer any time of the year, just don’t make them look like mummies!
An easy and delicious jalapeno pepper recipe that will win anyone over with one bite.
š Main Ingredients
Jalapenos | I used Jalapenos, and scraped out the seeds and membrane to tame down the heat.
Cream Cheese | Cream cheese is the filling to this recipe. Make sure that you use softened cream cheese. Then I add a cheese blend for added flavor.
Bacon | Added flavor with the bacon. Feel free to leave it out if you end up wanting a meat free appetizer.
š“ How to Make
The full instructions and list of ingredients are in the printable recipe card below.
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven as directed below. Then you will want to start prepping your jalapenos.
Slice in half, and then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and membrane. Then rinse well in water. If you skip this step your crescent rolls will be very spicy.
Step 2: In a bowl, you will add in your softened cream cheese, bacon, mixed cheddar cheese and Monterey jack, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mix until it is all creamy and well mixed.
Step 3: Now you will begin filling your jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4: Now you will layout your store-bought crescent rolls. Then slice them thin like pictured.
And then carefully wrap around the crescent rolls to create mummy-tape style look.
Step 5: Bake as directed. Once done, remove and then allow to cool a bit. Make sure you place the candy eyes on to give it a mummy Halloween look!
š§ Tips For Making
- Feel free to leave the stems on so people can hold them, and it gives a fun look to them.
- Feel free to use any mini peppers, I love the sweet mini peppers, they are delicious as well.
- Use up any type of cheese you want. Pepper jack cheese for added heat, sharp for a tangy flavor, and more.
- Don’t forget to clean peppers well. Or if you want added heat then make sure to leave the seeds in the peppers for added spice and heat.
Can I Make These In Advance
Feel free to prep the cream cheese filling ahead of time. As well as prepping the peppers. Keep items in the fridge until ready.
Then when you are ready, fill peppers, wrap in crescent rolls and bake.
You can’t bake these and save as they will sog up a bit. If you do you will find the flavor isn’t as good. Just make sure that you serve these warm and fresh from the oven.

I love jalapenos. One of my favorites is the crescent roll recipes with cream cheese, bacon, all wrapped up. But I have a handful more for you to try out!
Can I Use Homemade Crescent Roll Dough
If you are not a fan of store bought dough, go right ahead and use a homemade dough. You could even use a dinner roll style dough to wrap up the peppers.
These are perfect for a Halloween Party, weekday snack after school for the kids, to pair with dinner, and more. I would even pair these with pigs in a blanket for dinner.
