These Jalapeño Hush Puppies are the only way to keep Uncle Tim quiet while his favorite team is getting whooped.  AND it’s a way for you to get some accuracy practice in. Every time Uncle Tim opens his mouth to yell about the refs or the head coach or the star player he thinks is overpaid, just sling a hush puppy right at his chompers. As soon as that Mt. Olive Jalapeño flavor hits his tastebuds, suddenly being down 32 points won’t seem so bad.
