Yum. I have to admit I was a little bit leery of this to begin with. lol. But I love jalapeno poppers so thought that I'd give it a try. I spread the cream cheese on both slices (to get more yumminess, lol). I fell in love with this sammie. So easy and so good. We make some of our jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon so I might try adding some bacon next time too. Thanks for sharing this nice winner, Dee.
