TIP: If you do not want to use hot peppers you can use mini sweet peppers or quartered red/yellow/orange peppers. If you cannot find the mini sweet peppers in your location, you can tame jalapenos by soaking the cleaned halves in Sprite® for 2-4 hours depending on how tame you want them. The longer you soak, the more mild they become.

Halve lengthwise and seed the jalapenos. Set aside.

In a bowl combine the cream cheese, cheddar, pepperoni, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, and the salt and pepper. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

Cut each piece of bacon in half (not length wise but the short way)

Spread a healthy amount of the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half. Wrap with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Place each now stuffed jalapeno cut side up directly on the grate of a preheated smoker. (DO NOT USE A PAN)
Smoke for an two to three hours in smoker at 215°F.
