Bacon-Wrapped Habanero Poppers
Because we like the Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers my son wanted to try using Habanero peppers. The latter are hotter than jalapenos so I was hesitant at first but after a few tries to convince me I agreed. Hey, let’s try it once and see if I’m still alive to blog about it after eating some. Since this is written now it means I’ve survived. Now, try it yourself and see if you like it too. WARNING, they were hot but not to the point where you can’t eat it. The tip is to really clean out the membranes. You’ll still taste the burn but you’ll be able to enjoy it and not hate life after, HAH!

It’s really good. Hot, but good.
