    FABULOUS! I thought this might be too spicy with both the chipotle pepper and the jalapeno so I skipped the cayenne and it wasn’t spicy at all, ha! But it was absolutely delicious! The entire flavor combination was so good. I baked these in the oven at 400F for 20m since I needed to be hands-off and they held together perfectly. Ate two fresh, froze the other two!
