Get ready for a thrilling culinary adventure as we unveil three of my favorite Halloween treats: Jalapeño Mummies, Apple Peanut Butter Bites, and Guacamole Spook Snacks! These ghoulish delights are not only delicious but also frightfully fun to make.
🔸 Jalapeño Mummies
🔸 Ingredients:
1 8oz package of cream cheese
10 large jalapeños
¼ cup greek yogurt
1 cup water
1 tsp onion powder
1 package crescent rolls
A few black beans or black olives for the eyes
🔸 Instructions:
Pull out an 8oz package of cream cheese from the refrigerator so that it will come to room temperature and soften. Cut 10 large jalapeños in half and deseed them. Set them aside while you mix together the cream cheese, ¼ cup of greek yogurt, 1 cup of water and 1 tsp of onion salt. Now fill each of the jalapeños with the cream cheese mixture. Spread out the crescent rolls and using a roller or your hands mold the pieces together so that it makes squares. Cut ¼ inch strips and roll each strip around the jalapeño. Cook in the oven on 325 for 20 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns light brown and the jalapeño is soft. Add 1 halved black bean for the eyes and enjoy!
🔸 Apple Peanut Butter Bites
🔸 Ingredients:
4 large Apples
1 cup peanut butter
1- 2 cups small white marshmallows

Slice and core apples into ¼ inch wedges. Add peanut butter to one side of two apple wedges and place marshmallows in between and close it up to mimic lips and teeth! Enjoy!

Salt to taste
