** some substitutions: you can use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half. Adjust the amount of jalapenos to make hotter or milder to your taste. This amount is perfect for my family. Salt, pepper or Texas Pete are some good items to have on hand in case anyone would like to add to their individual bowl. **
