Sounds delish! A local restaurant makes bacon wrapped water chestnuts with a teriyaki sauce and charges $9.95 for only 15. Maybe you could post something for everyone. Love your site! Oh, by the way, we are talking Napa, Ca…
Thanks for the suggestion – sounds delicious and something I’ll have to try to create!
Ooh, so many wonderful bacon-y recipes! Love those bacon twists and the cheddar biscuits.
You really can’t go wrong with bacon!
Bacon for a year would be AMAZING! My husband would love that!
Sea salt caramel-yummy. My daughter will love this bacon bar idea for her wedding reception. I just sent it to her. Winning the bacon would be awesome.
Having one at her wedding reception is a genius idea!
Oh wow! This looks really good! I’m drooling over this!
I’d like to give the Bacon Waffle Bake a try!
Yummy!
I love EVERYTHING bacon! On the Smithfield site, my favorite is the caramelized bourbon bacon. I would eat that by the pound. Honestly, one of my favorite ways to eat bacon is straight out of the skillet 🙂
SO smart to put pineapple in the middle! YUM!
I have to go with Crispy Bacon Twists with Gouda and Apricot Preserves. Bacon and cheese go together so well and the sweetness of the preserves is the ultimate touch!
Oooh, that is a good one!
My favorite recipe is your spicy sweet bacon wrapped pineapple bites but if I had to pick a second it would be those Bacon Cheddar Biscuits on the Smithfield recipe page! OH YUMMY
This is AMAZINGNESS! I could eat bacon every day! Seriously, I love the black pepper bacon! It’s so good with biscuits & Cheesy Eggs! Family favorite!
I could eat bacon everyday too! It’s the best!
Those bacon-wrapped pineapple bites look amazing! I’d also love to try the Sea Salt Caramel bacon recipe on the Smithfield site.
Yes, the flavor combination in the Sea Salt Caramel ones are out of this world!
If I have to pick one, and that’s hard to do I’d pick Caramelized Bourbon Bacon!!! Yum!!!
Good choice and you’re right, it is hard to pick just one!
Oh I just realized I read the instructions wrong!
Of the recipes you’ve given in the bacon bar, it’s hard to narrow down, but i absolutely LOVE the brussel sprouts, and the Bacon twists are AMAZING!!!
My fave way to eat bacon is wrapped around beef tenderloin! Or dipped in chocolate! Or on top of deviled eggs!!!
My favorite is the recipe for bacon cheddar biscuits. I especially like that they are drop biscuits. which are so much easier to make than rolled biscuits.
Oh yes, way easier and they taste soooo good!
OK. These Spicy Sweet Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites sound ridiculously awesome and like a fabulous finger food for the holidays. I’m a sucker for all things bacon, and anything wrapped in the peppered kind is a good call for me. I’d also love to try those Caramelized Bourbon Bacon at the Bacon Bar. SO tasty!
What a wonderfully delicious recipe idea! Your photos of this recipe are amazing too. I really love low sodium bacon for our family! Thanks for sharing
Aww thanks Sharon!
I love all things bacon! These would be great appetizers to serve at holiday gatherings!
My kids would be so excited if we won bacon for a year…this is magic food in their eyes because bacon makes EVERYTHING taste good.
I can’t resist bacon! These look incredibly flavorful! Gotta try em!
Can this be done in an air fryer?
These sound so incredible! I am such a bacon fan (applewood smoked is probably my favorite), and these bites sound amazing!
Thank you Michelle!
I am thinking I need to throw a Bacon Party now! Love all bacon especially think and peppered! YUM
The Bacon Bar will be perfect for your Bacon Party!!
