Nights are getting relatively cooler here in the North East so there is no better time to spice things up. Follow along…
Start with fresh jalapeno peppers.
Cut in half; scrape the seeds and ribs out of each pepper.
Fill each pepper half with cream cheese, I used light. You can also use goat cheese.
Wrap each pepper half with a 1/2 strip of bacon.
Place in a pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees until bacon turns crispy.
Finally, devour them!
(Writers note – I didn’t waste any time serving these, as you might suspect by the lack of a well taken photo of the finished gems.)
THE JOY OF CAKING 
Oh yum those look soooo good! I love anything with bacon (and cream cheese of course, bagel girl here lol) 🙂
Sexiest poppers I have ever seen. The look amazing. I vote goat cheese.
Hmm, how many of these would it take to fill up by grown up boys!
Love to spice things up a bit! These look like a great game time treat this football season!
Good idea! Great game time treat…
You can never go wrong with bacon! We are getting crisper nights here too which means it’s chili (and not only the cool ‘chili’) season. We have our very own special NM green chilis. The entire town smells like roasted chili!!
I love it when the whole town smells like something good. I grew up in a town where grapes were grown so I can relate. YUM!
These are such a great appetizer for a party (or just for me and my husband!) Thank you for making me smile. I love visiting your blog before I head to work. It is a great start to my long day. Much love and many blessings from Austin!
