Whenever i have a party i always buy the Jalapeno Poppers from trader joes, but i ran across this recipe and seems easy enough!
Jalapeno Poppers
- 6 Jalapenos, seeds and stems removed
- 3 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 Teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 6 Strips Bacon (I like using the Center Cut bacon for these)
- 6 Toothpicks soaked in water
Soak toothpicks in warm water for at least 30 minute,s and cut off jalapeno stems and split the peppers down the center. Scrape out all the seeds.
In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, chili powder and honey until well combined. Spoon cream cheese mixture into both halves of each jalapeno.
Stick jalapeno back together again and wrap each jalapeno with a whole strip of bacon. Be sure to cover the top of the jalapeno so the cream cheese doesn’t all come out.
Use a wet toothpick to secure the bacon and hold everything together. Grill poppers on medium heat until the bacon is crispy and pepper is cooked, about 20 minutes, and turn occasionally.
Some of the cheese will drip out while cooking. Let cool 5 minutes before serving or the melted cheese can burn your mouth.

For the savory food, a plant stand was used to uniquely present the crudites and dip. Pita chips were served in snack boxes to accompany the roasted red pepper hummus. Tiny quiches and fresh fruit rounded out the savory offerings for this mid-afternoon (and pre-superbowl!) shower.
