Tips:
- Use thin-sliced bacon in this recipe, as thick-sliced bacon doesn't wrap around so well.
- Be careful when cutting and scraping the jalapeno peppers not to rub your eyes with your hands that have pepper juices on them. I have done this, and it burns! Wash hands immediately after cutting or handling them.

Have made these for years. I learned the hard and painful way though, to wear kitchen gloves when handling raw jalapenos! I buy boxes of gloves at Harbor Freight and keep in s drawer. Please protect your fingers!
Stacey says
Jayne, you're so correct! Learn from my mistakes 😉 Gloves & in my case, maybe goggles, lol.
