Ingredients

  • 6 large jalapeño peppers
  • 2 oz/55 g cream cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough or puff pastry
  • Candy eyeballs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
  • Slice each of the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise.
  • Hollow out the inside of the pepper halves with a spoon, making sure to remove all of the seeds and membranes.
  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, chili powder as well as salt and pepper to taste. Mix until completely combined.
  • Fill each of the pepper halves with the cheese mixture. Do not overfill.
  • Unroll the pizza dough or pastry and using a pizza cutter cut into thin strips.
  • Wrap the dough strips in a criss-cross design around the stuffed jalapeno peppers. Leave an open space near the top for the eyes to go once the poppers are baked.
  • Bake the wrapped peppers on a rack on a baking sheet for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let the peppers cool for a few minutes, and then insert two candy eyes into the front of each pepper.
