    Texas Twinkies (Cream Cheese and Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos) are a mouthwatering, classic American snack. I make them in just 30 minutes and they are packed full of spicy and savory flavor. I love jalapeño poppers because not only are they quick and easy, they’re also incredibly delicious. You will definitely want to add this recipe to your stash of easy appetizers.

    Instructions

    1
    |
    Preheat the oven to 400℉.
    2
    |
    Start by removing the top part of the jalapeno. Then, with a sharp paring knife, make a straight cut along the back of the jalapeno (usually the flat side). Finally, use your fingers to separate and open up the pepper.
    3
    |
    Take your paring knife and carefully remove the seeds from the jalapeno. If you prefer to keep a slight level of heat in the jalapeno, retain the white rib section and discard only the seeds.
    4
    |
    Clean your jalapenos by rinsing them under water and washing away any seeds.
    5
    |
    With a butter knife, fill half of the jalapeno's interior with cream cheese, making sure to use enough to help the brisket adhere and stay intact.
    6
    |
    After filling the jalapenos with cream cheese, proceed to incorporate the brisket. Fill each jalapeno with shredded or chopped brisket.
    7
    |
    Place a slice of thick cut bacon on a flat surface.
    8
    |
    Start by attaching the bacon to the jalapeno using a toothpick, beginning on one side. Proceed to wrap the bacon around the jalapeno and use another toothpick to secure the opposite end.
    9
    |
    To cook, arrange them on a baking sheet, preferably on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to collect any drippings. Cook for 20-30 minutes until the bacon is fully cooked and reaches your desired level of doneness.
