# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oil in a deep pot to 175°C.

In a bowl, blend cream cheese and shredded cheddar until fully combined and smooth. Gently fold in the chopped jalapeño halves.

Transfer the fried bites to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side.

Ensure oil temperature remains steady at 175°C for even browning.

Allow the bites to cool slightly after frying to avoid burning your mouth.
