Cooking Tips

• Wear gloves when handling jalapenos to protect your hands from the heat.
• For a milder version, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, you can leave some or all of the seeds and membranes intact.
• You can also add a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the cream cheese mixture for extra sweetness.
• These poppers can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover poppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the poppers on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the poppers as an appetizer or snack at parties, game days, or any gathering.
