"These are also a BIG family favorite, You can also substitute Banana Peppers for those with a not so Heat tolerant stomach. Even the smell of my Poppers cooking in a slow oven will bring out the Neighbors! Great for Snacking, Tailgating, Hoers Derves just about anything. They are a bit spicy, and if you can't eat Hot Peppers, Banana Peppers work quite well!"
