Ingredients:  
20 whole fresh jalapeños, 2 - 3" in size
2 cubes cream cheese, softened
1 lb. thin (regular) bacon, sliced into thirds

Directions:
Directions:
If you have them, slip on some latex gloves for the pepper prep...Cut jalapeños in half, length-wise. With a spoon, remove the seeds and white membrane (the source of the heat; leave a little if you like things hot). Smear softened cream cheese into each jalapeño half. Wrap jalapeño with bacon pieces (1/3 slice). Secure by sticking toothpick through the middle. Bake on a pan in a 375ºF oven for 20 - 25 minutes. You don't' want the bacon to shrink so much it starts to squeeze the jalapeño. If, after 20 minutes, the bacon doesn't look brown enough, just turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish it off. These are best when the jalapeño still has a bit of bite to it. Serve immediately, or they're also great at room temperature.
