Recipe View Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. (5 minutes)

For a milder flavor, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeños. For extra heat, leave some of the seeds intact.
Soaking the toothpicks in water helps prevent them from burning under the broiler.
If you don't have jalapeño bacon, regular bacon with a dash of cayenne pepper works as a substitute.
These firecrackers are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Serve with a cooling dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the heat.

  • Shawna Padberg

    So easy to make and perfect for a party. I made a big batch, and they were gone in minutes!

  • Ana Keebler

    Baking them on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet helps the bacon get crispy all around.

  • Lucas Weimann

    To reduce the spice, soak the halved jalapeños in ice water for about 30 minutes before stuffing them.

  • Vena Altenwerthkub

    I found that using a piping bag to fill the jalapeños made the process much quicker and cleaner.

  • Aisha Lehner

    These are amazing! I used a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese with the cream cheese, and it was a hit!

  • Gerard Abbott

    These are addictive! I've made them several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

  • Hadley Heaney

    I added a little shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cream cheese before wrapping with bacon. Delicious!

  • Karson Block

    These would be great with a cool and creamy dipping sauce, like ranch or blue cheese dressing.

  • Alanis Murazik

    Warning: these are definitely spicy! If you're sensitive to heat, use less Cajun seasoning or choose milder jalapeños.
