October is here and that means Halloween is around the corner – and what’s Halloween without some spooky recipes!? We asked Pinterest for the Top 10 Halloween Recipes of 2018 and I decided to make all ten of them to see how easy (or hard) they really were to pull off! With everything from appetizers to desserts on the top 10 list, the recipes were as boo-tiful as they were fangtastic to eat. So for all my fellow Pinterest witches out there – these recipes are the pick of the patch!
Jalapeño Popper Mummies
Recipe IRL:
If you want an easy-to-make spicy bite for your Halloween party, definitely try this recipe out. I’ve never made jalapeños before so I was nervous when de-pithing them and I definitely used gloves, but the recipe came together easily. Once you de-pith the peppers and mix together the cheeses and scallions, all that’s left to do is wrap your mummies which is the hardest part of it. Make sure to lay you your crescent roll dough in triangles and not do what I did which was accidentally pull the dough apart in pieces! Once you cut the dough in long strips you have to wrap the mummies which actually is pretty fun! The appetizer cooks super fast in the oven and was really tasty – even for an anti-spice person.
Ingredients
10 jalapeño peppers, sliced in half lengthwise and pith/seeds removed (use rubber gloves so your hands don’t burn). Leave the stem if you can on some or all of the halves.
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
8 ounces jack cheese, shredded
1 scallion, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
2 eggs, beaten
candy eyeballs
Instructions
Preheat oven 400° F. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, jack cheese, scallion and salt until well blended.
Roll out the crescent rolls and separate into 4 rectangles with a perforation in the middle of each. Press your fingers into the perforations to seal them. Using a pizza cutter, cut each rectangle into 10 long pieces lengthwise.
Fill each jalepeño half with the cheese mixture. Wrap each jalapeño half with the dough, leaving a space for the eyes. Use two pieces of dough if necessary. Brush with egg mixture and place on baking sheet.
Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and press the eyes into the cheese where the opening is. Remove eyes before eating. You may also use a little cream cheese and a piece of black olive for the eyes. Serve immediately.

Instructions
Boil your eggs in a pot of water. Once eggs are completely cooked remove from heat and run under cold water.
Gently crack the hard boiled eggs with a knife or by rolling them on the counter. Place them in an zip lock bag. Add food dye of choice to zip lock bag. Roll eggs around to make sure they are fully coated and place in your refrigerator overnight.
The next day rinse eggs in vinegar, peel and place your cooked egg yolks in a small bowl and mash them up with a fork. Stir in the mayo, mustard, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, food dye, salt, & pepper.
Scoop the filling into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and/or chia seeds.
