There’s no faster way to get a party started than with these bacon-wrapped poppers. Make them ahead and bake just before serving. Even the hot pepper intolerant will love them.—Dawn Onuffer, Crestview, Florida

These were great! The combination of sweet and spicy was perfect! I strongly recommend wearing gloves when making these though-I did not follow this advice, and my hands burned for the rest of the day.

Everyone loved them, even those people who stay away from "hot" foods. I made sure that I removed all of the seeds and membranes. I pre-cooked the bacon a little too.

I have made these numerous times at my house and also to take to parties. My only issue is keeping them hot when I take them places. I like them best right out of the oven, and don't want to ruin them by putting them in a crock pot to transport them. Does anyone have any transport ideas for me so I can take them places and kept them warm? We also like them with some heat so I always leave seeds from about 3 (doubled recipe) of the jalapenos for a little bit of a kick, but not too hot!
