Probably a stupid question...do you soak the toothpicks and bake with them in? I assume but was curious. Thinking about making gr8 a bridal shower.
Looking for things that CNcan be prepped ahead and just baked off right before.
Thanks.

Hi, I would soak the toothpicks for a bit just to make sure they don't burn. Have a great Bridal Shower!

My brother made these for us over the summer on his smoker. Totally delicious!

I'm almost ready to watch football just to get some of those. But luckily I don't need to because I pinned this post and can do them at my house, without football 😉

My family loves these, but we have to make sooo many that I now add quality bacon bits to the cheeses and stuff and bake the jalepenos as directed. Saves me so much time and you still get all the flavor components.
