Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the jalapeños by slicing them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds and membranes.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, pressing it in firmly.

Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Place the wrapped poppers 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 cheese is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
