BEST EVER JALAPENO POPPERS
This is a recipe I made by taking the best of three or four popper recipes and combining them to make something that tastes wonderful. A frequent request at my house, and at others. I usually make 100 and put them in the fridge. They don't last long. Adjust the amount of bacon bits and type of shredded cheese to taste. Increase the recipe as necessary! Lots of tests helps to best figure out the way you like it. Be sure to wear rubber gloves while seeding the jalapenos -- they will burn.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
- Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
- Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
- In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F ( 180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

PINEAPPLE JALAPENO POPPERS
Pineapple cream cheese makes this treat perfect. No one would ever guess the pineapple was in there! When I don't have pineapple cream cheese on hand, I just mix together cream cheese and crushed pineapple.

JALAPEñO POPPERS
There are many delicious versions of jalapeño poppers: Some are breaded and deep-fried, others use two kinds of cheese, and another, called armadillo eggs, calls for enrobing the cheese-stuffed peppers with ground meat and bacon. These easy-baked poppers are filled with tangy cream cheese - brightened with scallions, cilantro, garlic and lime zest - then wrapped with bacon for looks, salt and crunch. For a vegetarian variation, sprinkle the stuffed jalapeños with finely crumbled tortilla chips before baking to complement the crisp-tender chiles and the molten-cheese filling.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then top with a wire rack.
- Halve jalapeños lengthwise. (Do your best to halve them through their stems for added visual appeal.) Using the tip of a small spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Set the halved jalapeños aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cilantro, scallions, garlic and lime zest, if using; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Season the inside of each halved jalapeño with salt and pepper, then fill each with about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. (Fill until there's a slight dome on top.) Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with 1 piece of bacon, setting one tip of bacon on top of the cream cheese filling, then wrapping the bacon under and over the popper at an angle, so the bacon covers the filling on top in two layers. (The bacon will shrink as it cooks, so you want to make sure the top of the popper is well covered.) Arrange poppers evenly on the wire rack, nestling each popper between two parallel wires to keep it upright so the cream cheese doesn't spill during baking.
- Transfer to the oven, and bake until bacon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Broil on the rack closest to the broiler until crisp, about 2 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples that are yellow in color and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
- Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños will give your poppers the best flavor. If you can't find fresh jalapeños, you can use canned or pickled jalapeños, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Remove the seeds from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the spiciness of the poppers. You can remove the seeds by using a spoon or a knife.
- Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like in your poppers. Some popular options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and shrimp.
- Be careful not to overcook the poppers: Overcooked poppers will be tough and chewy. Cook them until the cheese is melted and the jalapeños are slightly softened.
Conclusion:
Pineapple jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to add a little bit of spice to your next party or gathering. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a popper that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy appetizer, give pineapple jalapeño poppers a try.
