The ingredients

Peanut butter. I used the store-bought peanut butter, this is convenient and pleasing taste. It's rich in protein and low in carb makes this peanut butter stuffed jalapenos as a wonderful recipe to serve as a snack for the family or for the guest on game day.

Jalapeno. This decides the spice level of the poppers. The more you leave the seeds-on, the spicier the food is. And remove the seeds and the rib for mild versions of stuffed jalapeno. For the mild heat, you may swap with Cubanelle peppers.

Parika. Added to give a depth of flavor. And make the peanut butter glow with colors. And to mention here, paprika does not impact much on the heat. But the intense aroma that brings in more genuine. 

How to make peanut butter stuffed jalapenos?

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Prepping the jalapeno. If you have sensitive skin wear gloves to avoid skin burn. Divide the jalapeno lengthwise into two. 

Using a spoon remove the white membrane and the seeds completely. Reserve the seeds. 

Jalapeno peppers are halfed and ready to core.

Prepping the stuffing. In a mixing bowl, add peanut butter and paprika. You may add in the reserved jalapeno seeds to increase the heat of peanut butter jalapeno poppers tremendously. 

As a side note to add, we eat spice food a lot and feel the peanut butter with just paprika alone has the right amount of heat. 

Peanut butter stuffed in the pepper.

Bake. Arrange them on the baking sheet without crowding. And bake for about 20 minutes or until the jalapenos turns soft. 

Serve. Enjoy as finger food or with the dipping sauce.

Baked spicy poppers are ready to eat under 15 minutes.

Best pairing ideas

This peanut butter poppers are wonderful to hold as a stand-alone finger food appetizer. However, it is great when served with

Dipping sauce. A cool, soothing dipping sauce like mayo, ranch works fine.

Spicy sauce. If you prefer something more spice, serve with sriracha mayo, boom boom sauce, jalapeno aioli.

Salad. A simple salad like fresco salad, greek yogurt cucumber salad, or cucumber mango salad tastes delicious.

Spicy side. When looking out for more spicy sides, serve with sides like spicy kale salad.

Storing ideas

To store. Transfer the leftover peanut butter stuffed jalapenos to an air-sealed container. Refrigerate to use up to 5 days.

To reheat. Rewarm in the preheated oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 10 minutes or until it is warm. Or gently rewarm in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in increments until it is warm.

Freeze. Freeze the poppers in the freezer-safe airtight containers or bags to use for about 2 months. To thaw, refrigerate the frozen jalapeno overnight.

Spicy peanut butter and jalapeno peppers bites are amazing for the party.
