I’ve had quite the love of jalapeno poppers over the last few months, and I wanted a super simple way to get my favorite flavors of a jalapeno popper in the form of a quick snack. These little jalapeno popper fat bombs can pretty much be carried anywhere, and snacked on as needed to bring your fats up throughout the day.

The flavor of these are exactly what you’d expect – a bit spicy (add jalapeno seeds inside if you want more spiciness), very creamy and rich, and packed full of bacon flavor. You can easily make them ahead and throw them in a plastic bag or plastic container to bring with you practically anywhere, too.

• 3 ounces cream cheese

• 3 slices bacon

• 1 medium jalapeno pepper

• ½ teaspoon dried parsley

• ¼ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

THE EXECUTION

1. Fry 3 slices of bacon in a pan until crisp. 

2. Remove bacon from the pan, but keep the remaining grease for later use. Wait until bacon is cooled and crisp.

4. Combine cream cheese, jalapeno, and spices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Add the bacon fat in and mix together until a solid mixture is formed.
