Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients for a streamlined cooking process.
  2. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, removing seeds and membranes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth.
  4. Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, ensuring a hearty filling without overflow.
  5. Unroll crescent roll dough and cut into thin strips for wrapping. Wrap around each filled jalapeño, leaving an opening for the eyes.
  6. Bake the wrapped jalapeños on a lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Allow cooling for a few minutes, then decorate with candy eyes or dots of sour cream or olives.
