Ingredients:
- 12 large jalapenos

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 slices bacon
- Barbecue sauce (optional to glaze)
Instructions:
- Prep the Jalapenos:
- Cut the jalapenos into halves lengthwise, then remove the membranes and seeds. If you like them less spicy, be sure to get rid of all membranes and seeds.
- Make the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the brisket shreds, softened cream cheese, and the cheddar cheese that you have shredded. Mix until well mixed.
- Stuff the Jalapenos:
- Fill each half of a jalapeno with the brisket and cheese mix. Make sure you seal the filling well.
- Wrapped in Bacon:
- Slice a piece of bacon and wrap it in each jalapeno half. Attach with toothpicks if you need to.
- Smoke or Bake:
- Smoking Smokers: Heat your smoker to 250 degrees F. Place the jalapenos wrapped on the grill and cook for around 2 hours or until bacon is crisp.
- Baking: Heat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place the jalapenos wrapped in bacon on baking sheets lined with parchment. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
- Optional Glazing:
- In the final 10-minutes of the cooking you can drizzle the jalapenos in barbecue sauce for an extra dose of flavor.
- Serve:
- The Texas Twinkies should thaw slightly before serving. Serve them warm for snacks or appetizers!
