Jalapeño Popper Bites

I don’t know about you guys, but I have Super Bowl food on the brain. For the sake of transparency, what’s on the menu is generally more important to me than the big game itself (I’m willing to bet that I am not alone in this). I tend to start planning our appetizer menu long before I even consider who will be playing. This year the game bears some importance to me, seeing as I was born and raised in New England, but my allegiance still mostly remains with what’s going on our plates that night.

If you’re still on the hunt for the perfect appetizer to take to a party, or if your watching the main event at home, these jalapeño popper bites are perfect. They’re quick and easy to prepare, and they’re great served hot or at room temperature. You could even prepare them ahead of time and pop them in the oven once you’ve arrived at your destination. They’re spicy, cheesy, and did I mention that they are topped with crispy bacon? No matter who you are rooting for, these bites are sure to be a hit!
