Ingredients

4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
2 oz. extra sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated
1 scallion, finely chopped
Dash hot sauce
6 small jalapeños
1 sheet refrigerated crescent roll dough
24 frozen peas, thawed, or tiny pieces of red pepper or a combination

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 375ºF. In bowl, combine cream cheese, Cheddar, scallion, and hot sauce. Spoon into resealable plastic bag and snip off 1 corner.
2. Step 2Halve jalapeños lengthwise, then remove and discard seeds. Pipe cheese mixture into pepper halves.
3. Step 3Unroll crescent dough and cut into ¼-inch strips. Wrap about 2 strips around each jalapeño half to create mummy-like pattern. Transfer halves to prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 minutes.
4. Step 4Let poppers cool 5 minutes. Place 2 peas or pieces of pepper on each “mummy” for eyes. Transfer to platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
