Nosh: Jalapeño Poppers
I had a hankering last week for jalapeño poppers. But my go-to popper stop, Sonic, is miles and miles (45 of them, actually) away. And no craving will get me to drive that far at $4.35 a gallon. So I took matters into my own hands. Lucky for me, my wallet and my waistline, Hungry Girl had a solution — a low-cal recipe.
With only five necessary ingredients (fresh jalapeños, fat-free cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Fiber One cereal and Egg Beaters), this recipe was a cinch to add to my grocery list and make. I was a little nervous about the Fiber One. The cereal comes in two sealed bags—which to me means that the company is aware that one big bag might go stale because people aren’t going to be wolfing the stuff down. But have no fear, these poppies are awesome!
The snack is easy to make. You simply cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove the innards, and stuff with a mixture of the cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Then, you dip them in Egg Beaters, roll them in the Fiber One (I added a little of the optional salt and pepper), throw them on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Thanks for the comment — now I’m off to search for Hungry Girl’s comment to your post. I love her. She seriously has some of the best recipes. Who knew Fiber One could be used in so many ways?!
Thanks for the recipe and the link to Hungry Girl
I tried making these tonight for the super bowl and they weren’t very good…they lack flavor, the cheese inside hardly tastes like anything unless u bite into a peice of cheddar cheese and the fiber one tastes like cereal. I wouldn’t make this again.
Thanks for the recipe! My guy loves poppers and I kinda love them too. We’re both watching our waistlines so this will be fabulous!
What temp did you bake them on?
