01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.

03 - Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, smoothing the top evenly.

04 - Unroll the crescent dough and cut into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide.

05 - Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with dough strips, leaving a small gap near the top for the 'eyes'.

06 - Place wrapped poppers on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with beaten egg.

07 - Bake for 16-18 minutes until dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.

08 - Cool slightly, then attach two candy eyes or olive bits to each popper. Serve warm.

01 -

The crescent dough creates that irresistible flaky crunch that makes people hover around the baking sheet
These disappear faster than you can say trick or treat, making them perfect for crowds

02 -

Soaking jalapeños in cold water for 30 minutes before filling removes enough heat to make these accessible to everyone
Work quickly with the crescent dough once it is out of the package, as it becomes sticky and difficult to handle as it warms

03 -

Use mini sweet peppers instead of jalapeños for a completely kid friendly version that still looks adorable
If your dough strips keep breaking, let them warm up for just 2 to 3 minutes before cutting
