Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Yields: 20 servings

Ingredients

1. 12 large jalapeno peppers

2. 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

3. 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

4. 2 tbsps fresh cilantro, finely chopped

5. 1 teaspoon onion powder

6. 1 teaspoon garlic powder

7. 12 strips of bacon

8. Candy eyes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Slice the peppers in half and remove the insides and seeds.

3. In a bowl, combine the 4 ounces cream cheese, 4 ounces shredded mozzarella, 2 tbsps fresh cilantro, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp garlic powder.

4. Slice the bacon lengthwise so that each jalapeno can be wrapped in a thin slice of bacon.

5. Wrap the jalapeno as you desire but leave some space open for the candy eyes to rest. I didn't do this uniformly so that there was fun and silly variation in the eye placement.

6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the bacon is completely cooked. Check them at 15 minutes to see if they need to cook for longer.

7. Let the jalapeno poppers cool before arranging them on a plate and setting the eyes on them.
