Preheat the oven to 425° F.

Stir the softened cream cheese in a small bowl. Crumble half of the Gorgonzola cheese into the cream cheese and stir to combine. Spoon the cheese mixture into the jalapeño halves.

Drizzle each jalapeño with barbeque sauce and sprinkle with a few more crumbles of Gorgonzola.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the bacon crisps to your liking. Drizzle with more bbq sauce and Gorgonzola if desired. Serve hot.
