WOW! If you need an appetizer for Labor Day weekend, or any occasion, make these bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. They are incredible and have the perfect combination of flavors! The crispy bacon complements the melted cheeses so every delicious bite keeps you coming back for “just one more”. The combination of jalapeno and bacon makes these poppers are my absolute favorite appetizer! When I found the recipe online, I had to try them immediately. I have made them many times for family and friends and have received requests to make them for every event. Savor every bite because they go fast!
