HOLIDAY BACON APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Begin by laying crackers on a cookie sheet, face up.
• Now just spoon 1 teaspoon of cheese over each cracker. Repeat on each cracker until they're all covered.
• Now it's time to assemble! Wrap 1/2 piece of bacon around each cracker -- being careful to completely cover the cracker. You want it to fit snugly, but don't stretch it too tight as you wrap (try not to have exposed ends).
• Place the little delights on a baking sheet with a rack, and place the pan in a 250-degree oven for around 2 hours (yes, that's right! This is not a misprint! - anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours is good - you want them to be quite 'dry').
• Note: According to the Pioneer Woman - They're flavorful, crispy, and delicious. And the great thing about these is, you can make them way ahead of time, then store them in a large Ziploc in the freezer. Then, when you're ready to serve them, just thaw and warm in the oven for about 10 minutes.
• Now I admit, there's really nothing nutritionally redemptive about these appetizers. The bacon fat seeps into both the cheese and the cracker, and they're positively loaded with calories.

HOLIDAY BACON APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Take a cracker and place a small spoon of brown sugar or Parmesan on top and then you wrap half the slice of bacon around the cracker.
• Place the wrapped crakers on a baking sheet. I also put foil down first so the crackers are easier to remove.
• Cook in the oven for 2 hours at 250 degrees.
• Let them cool down for about 10 mins before trying to get out of the baking sheet. They can be delicate when they are hot and break easy.
• You can store them in the freezer or just a container if going to eat sooner. A great appetizer to start off a nice dinner for any occasion.
