Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 3 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
• 24 candy eyeballs
• 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine cream cheese and Cheddar cheese in a bowl and season filling with salt and pepper. Spoon filling into jalapeno halves.

Step 3

Roll out crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into thin strips using a pizza cutter or a small knife. Wrap stuffed jalapenos with dough strips, leaving a small space unwrapped where the eyes will go.

Step 4

Combine egg and milk in a bowl. Add flour to another bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dip stuffed jalapenos first in the egg mixture, then roll in the flour. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until dough is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from baking sheet and stick candy eyeballs in melted cheese.
