Stuffed Jalapeños | Erica Robbin
These are so addicting!
These are my go-to snacks, even as a meal, and the appetizer to bring to the party. All you need is jalapeño and cream cheese for them to taste great, but adding cheese, garlic, and bacon adds that extra gourmet taste!
Some people call them “jalapeño poppers” if you coat and fry them. Some refer to them as “rat tails” if you leave the stems on. Both are very yummy!
