Spicy Jalapeno Popper (Flavored) Butter
When I was a kid, we had margarine in our house and that was it; no butter, because my parents didn’t like it. I didn’t taste real butter until I was a teenager and convinced my mom to buy some for making Christmas cookies. One taste, and I never looked back. I now live in a butter-only household! HA.
We like spice in our house. And jalapeno poppers are a favorite quick, spicy appetizer. So when I was dreaming up flavored butter ideas, jalapeno poppers just wouldn’t let go. I’m so glad it didn’t, because this creamy, spicy-hot butter is perfect melted on fresh bread.
And I’m already dreaming of the flavored butter melting on my husband’s steaks during grilling season this summer!
It’s a 5 ingredient (if we include the salt) recipe, and it takes just a couple minutes to prepare. Give it a try for the jalapeno popper lovers in your life. I’m sure they’ll thank you!
