These jalapeno poppers make a great appetizer for parties. They are basically stuffed jalapeno peppers that are breaded and fried. The filling ingredients include cream cheese, cheddar cheese and bacon bits. You can adjust the amount of bacon bits to your taste. When you are slicing and seeding the peppers it might be a good idea to wear rubber gloves because they can burn your hands if you are not careful. This recipe can easily be double for tripled if you want to make a batch for a large group of people. Enjoy.

I found this recipe years ago and although I don't make them too often I still dig through my pinterest recipes to find this one a couple times a year. Everyone loves them, we never have extra and it's a relatively cheap and easy appetizer for gatherings. Thanks for sharing!
