Ingredients

Scale

8 large jalapeños, halved and seeded

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 lb bacon, cut in half

1/2 cup whiskey

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and pepper.

3. Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.

4. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

5. In a small saucepan, combine whiskey, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves.
