Press the mixture firmly around the jalapenos and return to the freezer until ready to fry. At serving time, drop frozen in deep fat, @ 325 degrees, until they are crispy and brown.

Wash your hands carefully before you touch your eyes or other sensitive areas. Submitted By ALAN BURGSTAHLER On 11-07-94
