Jalapeno Popper Dip

Pinterest Challenge – Jalapeno Popper Dip

When you start with a ton of bacon, a bunch of cheese and a few jalapenos, you know you are going to present a winning dish to this family!

This delicious cheesy appetizer is absolutely loaded with crispy bacon bits and it will disappear! So, if you don’t want to worry about bringing leftovers home from that family get together or game night, Jalapeno Popper Dip makes a perfect recipe choice. It’s fast, easy, and makes a memorable appetizer!

Welcome to the second 2018 monthly Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to make Jalapeno Popper Dip from Delish.com.

We collected 12 pins, each of our family members choosing four each. We will prepare one each month. They are all rolled up on little slips of paper in a bowl on our mantel.

The January Choice, Bacon Pierogi Bake, was one of my selections.

This Jalapeno Popper Dip choice comes from Mr. Wonderful. For March, we have selected Buttermilk Fried Chicken, one of T’s picks. Come back soon and see how that turns out!
