‘Tis the season for entertaining. Whether it’s a holiday party or a game day get together, there are lots of reasons to celebrate.
Whenever you host a group of friends and family, you will need to ensure you have lots of tasty foods and snacks on hand. I try to offer a variety of easy chips and dips with some warm, savory options like my Bacon, Ranch & Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeños. They are amazing bite sized morsels of goodness that are packed with big flavor.
You know your recipe is a keeper when the plate comes back empty well before the party is over! After all, it’s hard to pass up peppers that are packed with creamy Arla Cream Cheese, bacon and shrimp. Just a warning…you may have a hard time stopping at just one. That’s why I always make a couple of batches when I have these on the menu—they are always the first to go.
Besides the great taste, I love these for the fact that they are easy to make. I’ll often prepare a big batch of filling, prep the peppers and then just bake them as I need them. That way I can serve up great taste without being stuck in the kitchen during my get together.
I choose Arla Cream Cheese for this recipe as it ensures my peppers are creamy and oh so delicious. Arla Cream Cheese is produced from natural ingredients and is the perfect solution for a quick snack, a last minute lunch or a quick recipe for the whole family. Wholesome and delicious, it is just perfect for any occasion.
I also feel good using Arla. Their cream cheese is produced from only four natural ingredients and immediately packed to seal in the freshness – preserving the great taste without any additives!

Plus, if you are shopping this weekend…be sure to and look for demo tables and you can try the great taste of Arla before you buy it. Demos will be held at select locations 12/15 – 12/16 and will have samples of Arla with a toasted bagel.
Be sure to print your coupon and pick up any of the tasty varieties when you shop…there are lots of great flavors to choose from. I like the Arla Skyr Cream Cheese in this recipe. It starts with the classic Arla cream cheese recipe and introduces skyr, an Icelandic-style yogurt, into the mix, resulting in a great-tasting Icelandic cream cheese spread that’s naturally higher in protein and lower in sugar and fat than their Original Cream Cheese.
