These easy and addictive honey chipotle jalapeno poppers use honey chipotle flavored cream cheese to give a twist to the classic appetizer.
For some reason, jalepeno poppers are not something I eat very often. ย I think that I was a little intimidated by jalapenos and I thought they would be too spicy. ย But this week I found myself with some extra jalapenos after making some Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos. ย I also was sent a sampler pack of a cream cheese from Willapa Hills Creameryย which is a local creamery located in Chehalis, Washington. ย Fred Meyer asked if I could develop a recipe featuring one of the cream cheese spreads, and so it didn’t take long for me to put two and two together. ย There were a few choices of flavors, such as garlic herb and bacon blue cheese, but I was really excited about the honey chipotle. ย Doesn’t that just sound like it was meant to be with bacon and jalapenos?
This appetizer is embarrassingly easy, and pretty close in method to my Goat Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates. ย If you live near a Fred Meyer, you can find the Willapa Hills Cream Cheese Spread in the deli section. ย If you don’t live near a Fred Meyer you can of course use any cream cheese, flavored or not, for this. ย I just like the extra kick the honey chipotle flavor gave these bacon wrapped jalepeno poppers.

Thanks Ashley! I have somehow never made them before!
I love making jalapeno poppers for summer cookouts! Never thought to do it this way with honey/chipotle flavors! I may try to whip up my own cream cheese by just adding in honey and chipotle seasonings — thanks for sharing!

I love the idea of combining jalepenos with chipotle cream cheese. These look like a brilliant appetizer.
Thank you so much Allyson!
That honey chipotle cream cheese sounds awesome and I’m drooling thinking about it paired with jalapeรฑos and bacon. Every time I visit my grandparents in Oregon we always eventually drive 45 minutes to visit a Fred Meyers or “Freddie” as my grandma says.
Haha, yes! WE call it Freddies too. Where in Oregon do your Grandparents live?
How freaking delicious and easy is this? I don’t eat poppers very often, either, but I do love them! And stuffed with chipotle cream cheese AND wrapped in bacon? YES please!These are dangerously easy to make and so much yum going on.
Thanks Dawn! It is hard to go wrong when bacon is involved ๐
I love everything about this recipe. Just the idea of the honey with the jalapeno makes me very happy.
Thanks so much Julie!
