These delicious bites are a twist on the deep fried variety we've all come to know and love. These poppers replace the breading and deep fried component with the best possible ingredient out there... BACON.
The crispy bacon, with the subtle heat of the jalapeno and the oh so creamy goodness that is the cheese filling. Great for a treat and they can either be baked in the oven, or as part of the summer season, thrown on the bbq.

For this recipe you will need:
5 slices of Bacon, cut in half
5-Jalapenos, halved and seeded, pods(whites) removed *for a little more heat leave the whites in the pepper*
4oz. Cream Cheese,soft
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
10 Toothpicks
Preheat the oven to 350
In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until well combined.
Portion cheese mixture into jalapeno halves, and wrap with uncooked bacon, I suggest wrapping them on the tighter side, to ensure all the cheesey goodness doesn't escape. Secure bacon strip with a toothpick.
Place in oven safe baking dish, or lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. The bacon should be cooked and the peppers soft. As ovens do vary, so keep an eye on them after 20 minutes, some may recquire more or less time to complete.
If you're going to cook these gems on the bbq, I would suggest lining a portion of the grill with foil, to ensure none drop between the slots on the grill.
Let cool for a few minutes, and serve. These are definitely an item to share, they are delicious and taste like more.
Give them a try and let me know what you think
