These were quite tasty. I used much less cream cheese than indicated (but then I had small jalapenos) and baked them for twice as long as stated in the recipe.

These were easy and sooo good, my husband ate a whole batch. And they are not too bad for you! A great tip: use any left over cream cheese stuffing from this recipe in omelets the next morning. Awesome!
