Have you ever been caught unprepared for a holiday gathering? It was on your calendar, but you overlooked it until the last minute. Better yet, you forgot to put it on your calendar. Then to top it off, you have to make a dish to take.
We all need a few hat tricks up our sleeves during the holidays. Recipe hat tricks, that is. This recipe is the easiest recipe ever, but I promise they will be the hit of the party! Everyone loves these. Not only are they fantastic, but this dish also works well for breakfast, brunch, luncheon, or dinner.
I always have the ingredients to the Candied Bacon Smokies on hand. Without a doubt, I will make this recipe once or twice during the holidays. I am usually doubling the recipe too.
Give these little gems a try this holiday season. You will not be sorry that you did!
