Y’all, let me tell you about a midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds do the second line! As a Louisiana girl who’s spent countless nights perfecting this little piece of heaven, I’m finally sharing my secret Cajun Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Bites. Trust me, honey, this isn’t your mama’s regular midnight snack – it’s what dreams are made of!
Listen up, because this recipe is about to change your late-night snacking game forever!
What You’ll Need (I know you’re getting excited!):
– 8 large jalapeños
– 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature, please!)
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
– 4 slices of crispy bacon, crumbled
– 2 tablespoons Tony Chachere’s seasoning
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Let’s get cooking, sugar!
1. First things first, cut those jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds (unless you’re feeling extra spicy tonight 😉)
1. In a bowl, mix your cream cheese, cheddar, crumbled bacon (save some for topping!), and Tony’s. Y’all, this mixture should make you want to lick the spoon – but resist, because it gets better!
1. Stuff each jalapeño half with your creamy mixture. Don’t be shy now – pile it high!
1. Pop these babies in an air fryer at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese gets all bubbly and golden brown. If you’re using an oven, bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.
1. While they’re still hot, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with those green onions and remaining bacon bits.
Y’all, when I tell you these are addictive, I mean it! They’re the perfect combination of creamy, spicy, and sweet – everything a late-night craving could ask for!
Pro tip from your girl: Make a double batch because trust me, these disappear faster than a crawfish at a boil!
