Bacon-Wrapped Peppers

Oh my goodness. These are crazy good. And I’m not just saying that because I invented them. Well, I didn’t invent the entire concept of bacon-wrapped peppers, just the idea of stuffing them with dairy-free cashew cheese. To be completely honest with you, I don’t like sharing these. They’re just too delicious to share. Make a batch for yourself and a batch to share. There we go—compromise.

Note: Save yourself some pain by wearing gloves while chopping the jalapeños. If my lazy chef ways have rubbed off on you, then you might be tempted to skip the gloves anyway. Just be prepared to feel some burning in your hands from the contact with the peppers. Ten different people will give you ten different ways to relieve the burning—from olive oil to Vaseline. I find that squeezing fresh lemon juice over the burning skin offers some relief. Just wear the gloves.
