Lay out your crescent roll sheet and using a small knife, cut 16 strips of crescent dough. If you have crescent triangles instead of sheets, press/pinch the seams together forming one sheet of crescent dough before cutting.

Mummy Jalapeño Peppers Substitution Ideas

  • Substitute the crescent dough sheets with crescent roll dough, you’ll just need to pinch the triangles together to make a solid sheet of dough before cutting it into strips.
  • Instead of garlic powder, use minced garlic.
  • Swap the sour cream with mayonnaise.
  • Substitute the bacon bits with freshly cooked bacon that has been crumbled.
  • Instead of onion powder, use very finely minced sweet onion.
  • Switch Colby jack cheese with other shredded cheese such as Monterey jack cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, or mozzarella cheese.
  • Instead of using candy eyeballs, use black olives that have been cut into small round pieces.
  • You can either leave the stem on or remove the jalapeno stem.
  • Sprinkle salt on top before baking if a tiny bit of extra sodium does bother you:)
