Jalapeno Poppers make a delicious snack to serve anytime, but I made them the other night while we watched a game during the hockey game and I have to say were just the perfect thing to munch on during the more dramatic parts of the game. Whew! Hockey is surely not for the faint of heart, is it?

Made with my Pineapple Jalapeno Cream Cheese Spread recipe that I shared with you all a while back, these pineapple jalapeno poppers really are the perfect blend of sweet and spicy! (Kinda like hockey, huh?)

I whipped up a batch of the cream cheese spread that we used in my chicken wraps for lunch and then had just enough of it to make a batch of jalapeno poppers.

I halved my jalapenos and deseeded them so that the poppers weren’t majorly hot. Leave a few seeds to your jalapeno if you prefer your poppers hot, hot, hot.

Then, I wrapped each tightly with a piece of thinly sliced bacon and secured each with a toothpick before baking them. You’ll want to bake until your bacon is cooked throughout and to your preference. Some like the bacon crispier than others, so just watch it for when you think it is perfectly done.

When done, allow them to cool for a few minutes and then carefully remove them from the pan by the skewers or with a spatula to a serving dish. I like to serve them with a little bit of pepper jelly either brushed on top while they are cooling or in a small bowl for dipping so that guests can decide for themselves.

Here’s my Pineapple Jalapeno Popper recipe. I hope you love them as much as we do.

    I made these. My household has taken to calling them – -. Since those are the first words you say after eating one.

    thank you.

    1. Hi Trish,
      I’m glad you enjoyed them! We love them in my family!
      It could be the bacon as some brands have more fat than others. Maybe next time you could possibly try a leaner cut of bacon if you want.
      Thanks!

    We are so blessed to be able to look at your recipes each day. I have canceled most of the other sites I use for recipes because none of them can touch yours. Thanks so much, and I love Jalapeno Poppers so can’t wait to bite into these little beauties.
    Happy Fathers day to all the fathers out there.
