Bacon Cheese Poppers image

Guests who head straight for a tray of jalapeno poppers will devour this crowd-pleaser just as fast. The blue cheese-flavored filling is wonderful, but it's the slight crunch from bread crumbs and crumbled bacon that sets them apart from any other version. -Charlene Chambers, Ormond Beach, Florida
