Finely chop peanuts and then place in a food processor , along with chicken, scallions, cheese, and jalapeno juice, and quick pulse to make a moist stuffing.

Stuff jalapenos with 1 tsp of the stuffing and squeeze closed as tightly as possible.

Fry "mice" in batches and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Sinus-Shattering Horseradish Dipping Sauce.
