I love jalapeno poppers and sweet spicy foods. This is the easy snack/appetizer to satisfy my craving! Cream cheese and orange marmalade are such a wonderful marriage! So I put these into fresh jalapenos and fried which made me so happy! Much better than store bought jalapeno poppers if you really like heat!
