Blue Ribbon Recipe by

These are like poppers if you have never had them and if you have had them they are almost like the ones at Texas Roadhouse. Enjoy.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We loved every nibble of this easy appetizer. They're filled with similar flavors to jalapeno poppers, but easier to prepare. Customize the spice of the rattlesnake eggs by adjusting the jalapenos. With 4, these will be very spicy. We found 2-3 chopped jalapenos to be spicy enough. Dipping the fried poppers in ranch dressing cools things down a bit. Great for game day or they'd make a great party appetizer.
