Jalapeno Poppers

These were a huge, huge hit at a party I hosted and I bet the guests didn't even realize they were eating something healthy (haha!).  I ran out of these fast so if they are for a party, you may want to double the recipe because they are going to be gone in a flash.

A dozen jalapeno peppers
1 block of cream cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
1package of bacon

Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise.  It's up to you how muxh heat you want them to have.  Removing all the seeds and white membrane will make them very mild.  The more of the white and seeds you leave the hotter they will be.

In a medium size bowl mix cheddar cheese and cream cheese.  Fill jalapeno halves with cheese mixture and wrap with half a slice of bacon.  Place on a cookie sheet and broil them for 5 minutes or until the bacon is cooked.

Skewer with wooden toothpicks and serve.

Warning:  wash your hands well.  There is nothing like rubbing your eyes after handling jalapenos!
