Wife and I make these. Buy them in bulk and glove up. Half and seed. Mix cream cheese and shredded cheese and seasoning for the stuffing. Top w/ some more cheese or olives or cocktail weenies or wrap w/ partial piece of bacon held w/ toothpick or (wait for it) weenie and bacon! Freeze on cookie sheet and transfer to zip locks. Maybe the flat picks wouldn't poke through the bag as readily but we've froze as many as 12 packs of 12-18 halves and no problem with freeze and use in 6 months. Take em out and cook in foil on grill, or oven, or pizza cooker.

We've tried deep frying w/o success though we like best baked w/o breading or batter anyway.

Same here. I use low fat cream cheese which I pipe in by cutting the end off a zip lock bag and then wrap them in Turkey bacon. Low cal-fat was the Doc's suggestion! frown But, they still taste good. smile

I add some brown sugar to the creme cheese or buy the sweetened stuff with walnuts in it. Put a part of a shrimp in it before wrapping with bacon. I also quit using a tooth pick to hold it together, if you wrap the bacon right you can skip that step.

Also, for the faint of heart I will buy the red, orange, and yellow peppers that aren't hot and add some of those to the jalepenos.

AKA Atomic Buffalo Turds around here. I mix the cream cheese with smoked chipotle chili powder , chives, and garlic, sometimes also a little crumbled Chorizo sausage, and wrap with double-smoked bacon....perfect appetizers for Cinco de Mayo! Be sure to make more than you think you need.... I also like to top mine hot off the grill with a dab of cold coarse -chopped homemade salsa or chopped tomatos.... laugh

Yeah, those do look good! To the OP, anytime you freeze a natural milk product, it will separate upon thawing and change it's texture and consistency. Maybe there is a "low temp" cheese product similar to high temp cheeses used in brats and stuff that commercial processors use? Don't know. Do know, for me, that poppers are in the sacred category and always make fresh. They are time consuming though and would be nice not to go through the hassle of making fresh each time. Would suggest you test fresh and frozen against each other and weigh it out for what works best for you.

I guess you could freeze certain components for them? Say if Jalapenos go on sale or the like you can core and half them and then freeze bags of just those? That is if the texture maintains. But yes, I would think it is all in the type of cheese used by Vonhansens and the like for the ones they do freeze.

Tonight i halved a few and put Chipotle cream cheese in them and topped with a three cheese blend but the pepper seemed on the soft side after grilling where there bacon wrapped ones seemed to have a chrispper texture i have always cored them and stuffed with various cheese products and they always seem a touch soft still good but i do like the texture of Von Hansons

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
