Sam Arnold's Peanut Butter Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers
Sam offers this simple way to enjoy an unlikely combination of hot and mild foods.
Ingredients:
Pickled whole jalapeno peppers
Peanut butter
Slice a pepper down one side. Remove the seeds and "stringers." Fill the pepper with peanut butter. The peanut butter should make up at least 70% of the concoction. Eat the entire stuffed jalapeno in one bite to get the full effect of the hot and mild sensations in unison.
