Jalapeño Bites Recipe
My mom loves spicy dishes, and this recipe for a jalapeño pepper snack is one of her favorites. I’ve had deep-fried Cheddar jalapeño poppers at restaurants, but these cheesy bites use cream cheese and Parmesan for a different flavor. I really can’t be left alone with these!

Recipe Notes
Handle hot chiles like jalapeño, habanero, or cayenne with care. Always wash your hands after handling. They may cause chemical burns to sensitive skin. If you’ve ever handled a hot chile and then scratched your eyes, you know what I’m talking about!
