Claudia's Cookbook - Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers 7

The amount of hot peppers in my garden right now is a little insane. I had the bright idea to plant Habanero Chilis, Trinidad Scorpion Peppers, Ghost Peppers and two Jalapeño pepper plants. The Ghost Peppers and Trinidad Scorpion Peppers were pretty much inedible because they are so incredibly hot. My husband tried to make hot sauces out of them and one drop essentially made my mouth burn for an hour. Not overly enjoyable. But I love our Jalapeño plants. There are so many great uses for these little peppers. Salsa (recipe coming soon), on burgers and these amazing poppers! They are so simple to make and are great for entertaining. Ensure you scrape off all the seeds unless you enjoy super spicy treats. The cream cheese cools down the heat from the peppers nicely, while the bacon adds a bit of salty goodness.

Cut your jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove all seeds and inner membrane.

You can leave some seeds in, but it will make the poppers a lot spicier if you do.

A little heat from the jalapeño and creaminess from the cream cheese make this snack so deletable. 

Not to mention the crisp saltiness from the bacon. 

Yum.
