These Bacon Jalapeño Popper Bites strike the perfect balance between spicy and creamy, with crispy edges that keep you coming back for more. They’ve got all the popper flavor you expect, but in a bite-sized format that’s easier to prep and share.
If you like snacks that hit salty, spicy, and cheesy all at once, you’re in the right place. Just be sure to make a double batch because these disappear as so as they hit the table.
Helpful Tips
- Use softened cream cheese so the filling mixes smoothly and scoops easily into the jalapeño halves.
- Cook the bacon extra crispy so that it holds some crunch when added to the filling.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid transferring the spice to your eyes or face.
