1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice each jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat. You can wear gloves for this step to avoid irritation.
2
Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chives (if using) until well combined.

3
Fill the Jalapeños
Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, pressing down gently to ensure it is packed in.
4
Wrap with Bacon
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each filled jalapeño half, securing it by tucking the end of the bacon under the jalapeño.

5
Bake the Jalapeños
Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender.
6
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
