For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before slicing.
Soaking the toothpicks prevents them from burning on the grill.
If you don't have a grill, these can be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
Serve these poppers with a tangy dipping sauce such as ranch or blue cheese dressing for an extra layer of flavor.
To prevent sticking on the grill, lightly oil the grates before cooking.
