These jalapeno poppers are the perfect sweet and spicy snacks for any party populated with your garden-variety dude. If you’re having a couple of beers before dinner, these poppers will make you feel right at home (if your home was a pub). Also, the oil and fat content will slow down your body’s ability to absorb alcohol. This means you can eat, drink, and have as much fun as you want for longer, before passing out in a turkey-induced stupor.
