Crunchy Peanut Butter Stuffed Jalapeños
I know what you’re thinking…but trust us when we tell you these are really good. Several years ago my Dad was in San Miguel de Allende in the far eastern part of the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. He attended a party and they served these as an appetizer, right after he took the first bite my phone rang. I thought the Food Network was calling but it was my Dad with his rendition of “The Best Thing I Ever Ate”. I couldn’t wait to try them! Many people find the combination strange until they try it… so try it!
