These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use half the amount of jalapeños.

I've made these hush puppies several times now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. They are so easy to make and they always turn out delicious. I love the combination of the sweet cornbread and the spicy jalapeños.

These hush puppies were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of heat from the jalapeños. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making these
