That sounds absolutely fantastic. Dear Lord. Any idea on the carb counts?

Ok, so, immediately after posting I went out and bought the ingredients. The cream cheese/ranch combo was fantastic, i even put some on my steak. I skimped on the bacon too. However, the jalapenos we're just incredibly hot. How did you get around that? I'm a huge fan of spicy foods, but the heat kind of overtook the delicious flavor of the cream cheese.

Use an apple corer or vegetable peeler to ream out the seeds and ribs inside the chili without breaking it open.

Seeds and ribs hold much of the heat.

I have done this just seasoning the cream cheese with garlic, onion, salt and pepper but the ranch seasoning would be right up my alley!

One thing I did (the recipe I had called for it) was to put some shredded chedder or mexican blend cheese on top of the creme cheese before wrapping it with bacon. They came excellent, but I am sure even without the chedder it would be good .

I have about 5 jalapeno plants growing this year, so i should be making these several times over the summer!

Oh this sounds divine.....

Carb count?

If jalapenos are to hot you can use any of the banana type peppers, Anaheim chiles, yellow banana, hungarian etc .. just remember the pepper walls are thinner so will cook a bit faster.

Oh, HEY, good idea! My local grocer has lots of fresh peppers: I'm gonna try it with the Anaheims!

Did anyone figure out an estimated carb count?

When I make these I cut the peppers in half and remove all the seeds. The seeds have most of the heat. Stuff each half with cream cheese and wrap with bacon. Secure with a tooth pick and then I bake them in the oven. They are just delicious and not too spicey at all.

They will be mine Muhahahahahaha

I just made these today. I have not tried but I am sure I am gonna like them. I cut the receipe in half because I knew I would be too tempted w/ so many in house. It made 10 jalepenos and I added all carbs up and then divided them by jalepeno....1 equals aprox 2.4 carbs which is perfect for a mid day snack as long as I can be smart w/ them lol. I was wondering do ya all think I could get em ready for oven and freeze them and then just pop one in oven or on grill when I want one?

I prepare huge batches of these (2 lbs of jalapenos at a time) then freeze them on trays and drop them into freezer bags so I can pull out a few anytime I want.

Yahoo I will be freezing lots then!
