Chocolate Covered, Peanut Butter Filled Jalapenos (or, Jalapeno Happiness Dessert)

OK, this was a FUN experiment. We knew we’d like it, but Jalapeno Miss REALLY loved this one. It is very sweet and tasty with a bit of the jalapeno heat, though not as much as normal because the insides are removed. It’s reminiscent of Bumps on a Log, but infinitely better. Note that these are extremely easy to prepare. If you’re in a pinch and you need to whip up some fun desserts for your guests, this recipe is for you.
