– 1 cup jalapeños, chopped (fresh or pickled)

Instructions
Creating Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls can be easy and fun if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
2. Prepare Eggroll Wrappers: Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you (diamond shape).
3. Fill the Wrapper: Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
4. Roll the Eggroll: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you to form an eggroll. Seal the edge with a little water.
5. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until everything is used.
6. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).
7. Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully add a few eggrolls to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the eggrolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Cool Slightly: Allow the eggrolls to cool for a few minutes before serving—they’ll be very hot inside!
