Prepare the jalapeños
Wash the jalapeños thoroughly. Cut each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat, if desired.

Make the filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, crispy bacon bits, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Stuff the jalapeños
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, pressing down gently to ensure they are well-packed.

Drizzle with olive oil
Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the tops with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly.

Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
