Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies
We get so excited over the start of school and Halloween on the horizon! I get just as excited as the kids do over Halloween. From the costumes, to candy, to festive decorations, October signifies tons of fun to come! Our Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs were a huge hit on the blog, and these Halloween Jalapeño Mummies are sure to be a crowd pleaser as well.
HALLOWEEN JALAPEÑO POPPER RECIPE
For this Halloween Recipe, you will need edible eyes among other ingredients. We used two eyes of the same shape, but we also think it would be cute to add additional candy eyes of various sizes! Isn’t a mummy supposed to look a little wonky?
The best part of this recipe for Halloween is that the kids can get involved, but when you’ve all chowed down to your heart’s content, they haven’t eaten a sugary snack that will hype them up. Instead, everyone gets a savory bite for Halloween night! (You are supposed to say that aloud while you’re reading. We rhymed just like Dr Seuss!)

Of course, you’ll need a sweet and spooky treat to go along with the savory menu items. You can find the perfect dessert in our 31+ Days of Kid’s Halloween Food Crafts! Which is your favorite?
Don’t get spooked. The ingredients that go into these Stuffed Jalapeño Popper Mummies can easily be found at your local grocery store!

I love these :) I have a lot of jalapenos this year (and golden cayenne peppers but they don’t stuff well) so hopefully I will still have them growing next month. If not, I will buy them for it! We love Halloween and this is such a cute and easy idea.
Patty says
Question – the video says to cover with butter before baking. I don’t see this in the directions. Does this need to be done before baking?
Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living says
Hello Patty, honestly it depends. If you are dealing with a buttery bread like crescents, it is not needed. Adding butter (or even a small amount of egg) will add to the final appearance and/or taste. If you got extra butter crescents, leave the extra butter off.

Hice la receta para llevarla a una fiesta y a todos les encanto. Lo único les hubiera gustado es q picara el
Chile. Los ojos hay q ponerlos cuando estén tibios los chiles. Yo le
Agrege un poco de crema y mayonesa.

Gracias por probar la receta de Halloween. Me alegro de que a tus amigos les encantó.
Danielle says
Can these be made up the night before?
Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living says
Hello Danielle, they are best fresh but can be reheated. One idea is to prep everything the night before and cook before your event. Enjoy. I had fun sharing them.
Deb says
I can’t have hot spicy foods. Should I look for cubanelle sweet peppers or will I be safe with simply removing the seeds and membranes if the jalapeño peppers?
Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living says
Deb, those sound like great ideas or perhaps even a green pepper! I hope you enjoy them!
