Hey - Great recipe! I’m trying it this week for a Football Season Kickoff party. Do you think it could be any easier to assemble these if you put the spread on the bread, roll up, freeze, Cut into thirds, Then wrap with say half a piece of bacon? As opposed to wrapping with bacon - then cutting. Just a thought - I may try it … either way - I’m sure these will be a hit this week! Thanks! That sounds like it should work. Have fun with it.

I did not make as neat bacon wrap as described, but it did eat good. I tried the recipe as a way to use up some bread. But the spread is out standing on crackers. I had never given cracker spread much thought but now I have a place to start from.
I sure do enjoy KA‘s web site keep it up…

Susan
Did you ever get a picture from Anne of her Grandmother’s breadslicer? I would love to see it. I’ve been trying to find something that would slice bread thinly.Please send via email if that is possible. Thank you.

My husband cannot eadt red peppers, what would folks recommend in place of red peppers? thanks!!!

The sidebar suggests trying pineapple and shrimp. How does that sound to your DH? I guess anything that goes well with bacon could be placed in the filling. Seeded and diced tomato would be rather like a BLT, I think. mmmmm! Happy Experimenting! ~ MaryJane

About the thin bread slicer that Anne (Dec. 31) spoke about . It is called Slice-A-Slice from Duncannon, Pa. Mine is from about 1954. These can be found on ebay. Handy gadget.

I am going to make these for an upcoming party. It’s nice to see something a bit different. I will use the real bacon for it’s extra flavor as opposed to turkey bacon. I will look for the extra thin slices which should make a lb. last for all 20 slices and maybe have a few less calories in each bite. I will go with the lite cream cheese and try 60% whole wheat bread. I’m sure it will work as I have done some mushroom/bread rolls with the 60% whole wheat before. This will add a bit more “health” to these! Thanks for the great recipe.

Awesome recipe. But please tell Frank, whom I asked on your instant messaging site how to find the low cal version on the blog, he said no low calorie/low fat version available.
Had also complimented KA on the email sends.
Just when I thought I had read everything on appetizers, etc., along you come with Bacon Bites. Thank you for continuing to amaze us. Izzie

We used to make the easy version of these when I was a kid - we called them bacon puffs. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on the bread, roll up bread and cheese in bacon, skewer with toothpicks, bake on a broiler pan (the bacon grease drips through). Kinda ’70s, SO delicious!
