Instructions
Slice the jalapeños in half and remove seed and veins (if desired). Mix together cream cheese, paprika, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. Stuff each half with cream cheese. Lightly press a little smokie into each half. Wrap each jalapeño with half of a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Grill or smoke until bacon is cooked, and jalapeños have softened, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Alternatively, jalapeños can be baked in a 250 to 300 degree oven. Top with your favorite barbecue sauce.
