Ingredients

• Jalapenos – slice and remove the seeds. You may want to wear plastic gloves as they can be hot!

• Cooked bacon – you can also use turkey bacon as well.
• Puff pastry – This puff pastry is perfect for wrapping around the outside of the peppers.
• Candy eyes – edible eyes are a must!
• Egg yolk – added to the outside of the dough to help it turn golden brown when baking.
