Are jalapeño poppers still good if left out overnight?

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the jalapeños: Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Rinse and pat dry.
Mix the filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and a pinch of garlic powder or paprika until smooth.
Fill the jalapeños: Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.
Wrap with dough: Cut crescent dough into thin ¼-inch strips and wrap 2–3 strips around each jalapeño to look like mummy bandages. Leave space for eyes.
Bake: Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Add eyes: Let cool slightly, then add candy eyes or two dots of sour cream topped with peppercorns or olive slices.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation. For a milder option, substitute with mini sweet peppers. These poppers can also be air fried at 350°F for 7–9 minutes.
