Jalapeño Bites

Be forewarned. I got this recipe from another mommy in cafemom.com Cuties With Cloth Booties is an amazing group of women and I am going to test more of the recipes they posted. Ingredients: 16 jalapeños, 1 block of cream cheese (Hubs bought two smaller boxes), and a package of bacon. You will also need: Gloves, aluminum foil and toothpicks Directions: 1) preheat oven to 350* 2) put on gloves and cut jalapeños in half longwise. Use a spoon to dig out seeds and as much of the white flesh as you like. The more you dig out, the less hot it will be. I dug most of out and I was able to eat them. Not a fan of jalapeño heat... 3) cut cream cheese into chunks and mold into jalapeños. It won't melt. 4) cut bacon in half and wrap aroun the whole thing. Stick it with a toothpick. 5) if you were smart, you would have the cookie sheet topped with aluminum foil. I had to ask hubs to do it. Arrange the bites. I got it all on two sheets. 6) bake for about 25 minutes. 7) wash your hands thoroughly now that you can take gloves off and enjoy.
