I wanted to try this just for something different. Because I wasn't sure about it, I only used 2 jalapenos. I was a little afraid of them being too hot, so I did use extra peanut butter. BIG mistake! I liked the little bite from the jalapenos, and ended up scraping half the peanut butter out! I will definetly make these again.

Great concept, but maybe some more coaching would be beneficial. Mine were scorching hot, so the second batch I cooked a little more and came out tolerable but a little too sweet. I suppose the key is in finding the happy middle ground, but I doubt I'll be investing the time. Perhaps battering and frying might add some good texture?

I tried this after reading the reviews and thought this would probably be a very tasty treat. Unfortunately I was not impressed. I tried a couple different ways including putting them under the broiler to see if that improved things. It did not. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Our preferred way to make these is NOT to cook them- just use a fresh jalapeno, mindful to remove seeds and membranes. Reminiscent of more-traditional stuffed celery, but with some real FIRE! Not for the faint of heart!

I couldn't bring myself to try it, but my guest who loves peppers ate them all. They were kind of messy to make, next time I'll put the peanut butter in a small zip lock and cut a small corner off and squeeze it into the peppers.

Made this for a dinner party and it was a hit. Feedback was that it was not that hot surprisingly.

This was definitely one of the strangest, simplest, and most intriguing recipes I've ever seen. We made this recipe on New Year's Eve and everyone loved it. You can't imagine the results until you try it. Yum!

My bf and I didn't love these. I thought I'd love them since I love peanut butter and I love spicy food, but this didn't really hit the right spot. Next time I'll make a spicy peanut sauce -- I knew such a simple peanut/spicy fix was too good to be true. I gave this three stars because there's nothing inherently wrong with the recipe, and I did eat it, but I won't be making it again.

So I was playing with some Jalapenos on the grill one night.............. I liked these, others did not. I also tried Nuttella stuffed Jalapenos. BIG mistake there. wow. I don't know that I will be doing these again as they weren't WOW.

We've made these for years but we do not like ours cooked, and we use crunchy peanut butter for another layer of texture. I always wear gloves when I slice the peppers and deseed them. then fill with crunchy peanut butter and chill before serving. You'll find the peppers are not nearly as hot when baked.

I made these for a party and they were a huge hit! I was a bit nervous heading in as it is such a unique combination. I am so glad I took the chance because not only did they make a great ice breaker, but they were a huge success! In fact, we are making them for another (much larger) party at my husbands bosses house next weekend. One quick note about the heat. I made about 20 peppers, and some were really hot, some were milder. The smaller ones seems to have the most kick! So, if you don't like the heat, my advice is to get the bigger peppers and make sure you scoop the seeds out really well!

These really just tasted like warm peanut butter to me. However, my peppers did not seem to have much bite, so that may have played a role.

Really great if you like peanut butter, which I do! My sister's face was priceless when I served them, but she ended up enjoying them as much as I did. I roasted them in the foil, then threw them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. A keeper!

Good for jalapeno lovers, but they were still quite hot. This may be because the jalapenos I used had also aged for a little while.

I just had to make these--so good! Then I thought why not put some chocolate in with the peanutbutter. Used a Hershey Bar cut in little peices. Baked for 30 minutes and then salted with sea salt. That really hit the spot with me and my husband. Will make again!

My DH loves poppers, so i decided to surprise him. I didn't want to do all PB; so i did some colby jack and cream cheese too. He loved the PB. Reminded him of peanut thai. I will make these again. I used chunky PB, it was all I had.

These are good, but still pretty hot! Maybe they should be cooked a little longer than what the recipe called for...

I don't know how, but I think I managed to get the mildest jalapenos on earth. As a result the peanut butter had no heat balance it out and it ended up tasting like just peanut butter. I'll try again with some spicier ones and update. In the meantime, here's a pic of what I got.

I brought these to a Super Bowl party and they went over pretty well. Everyone that tried them approached them with skepticism and seemed to come away pleased. I used organic all natural peanut butter which was a bit to liquid so made putting the jalapenos on their side difficult. Once in the oven though they seemed to hold together well. This is as you would expect, very spicy, but the peanut butter is a really nice contrast to the hot. Good party food that will get attention.
