Need a new idea for an New Years Appetizer

I've tried the stuffed jalapenos and they were very hot and not pleasant to eat. The flavor was good (it has bacon instead of sausage) but the mouth burned so much you didn't want another bite.
Fingers even burned from picking it up!

Just saw this posted. I'm going to try it.

Stuffed Jalapenos

Ingredients:
1 lb ground sausage (HOT if ya like! )
22 jalapeños
1- 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Preheat over 425. Cook sausage until browned. Set aside. Mix cream cheese with Parmesan cheese. Add cooked sausage and mix well. Rinse jalapeños. Cut each jalapeño lengthwise and remove seeds. Stuff jalapeños with sausage mixture. Cook for 20 minutes until tops are golden brown (cook on a large baking pan).

For the tame: shrimp stuffed small dolmades.
For the adventurous: pickled rattlesnake.
