TEXAS TWINKIES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Slice one side of jalapeño from stem to tip. Slice across stem end to make a "T."  Pit inside of jalapeño free of seeds and membranes.
• Place jalapeños on baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Remove jalapeños and place in bowl of ice water to extract additional seed oil (otherwise they will be extremely spicy.)
