Emily says
Hi, so excited to try this recipe out this weekend for an early Christmas celebration! Do we add the bacon & green onion in with the filling or save that for garnish only?
Kelly says
Hi Emily, There is some in the filling ingredients and some extra to be sprinkled on top as a garnish.
Marcia McDaniel says
Made these for a birthday party used the hot canned peppers. Didn't turn out hot at all. Recipe is hard to understand wasn't sure if cheddar cheese went in mix and on top or what. Same with the mozzarella. Turned out very nice looking but not spicy at all.
Kelly says
Hi Marcia, There's 1/2 cup of cheddar and 1/2 cup mozzarella in the filling ingredients and an additional 1/2 cup of cheddar sprinkled on top as a topping. I find fresh jalapeños to be hotter than the canned ones. Hope this helps!
Tammy says

Kelly says
Thanks so much, Tammy! Hope you like them!
