Alright, let’s just start with it. My husband said with a simple yet unwavering boldness that these are the best jalapeño poppers he has ever had by far. That’s got me feeling like a homemaking and general wife all star. It’d be pretty easy to have gone through your life up to this point never having eaten a jalapeño popper with something resembling a fresh ingredient. BUT IF YOU TRY THIS, I think you will see that with just the tiniest bit of homemade, while still keeping it quite easy, is going to change your party app thoughts for some time.
Just six ingredients! They are fast too!
