Sam Arnold's Peanut Butter Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers

Sam offers this simple way to enjoy an unlikely combination of hot and mild foods.

Ingredients:

Pickled whole jalapeno peppers
Peanut butter

Slice a pepper down one side. Remove the seeds and "stringers." Fill the pepper with peanut butter. The peanut butter should make up at least 70% of the concoction. Eat the entire stuffed jalapeno in one bite to get the full effect of the hot and mild sensations in unison.
