The "Sponge Bobs" are the bottom 4, its hard to tell because the anchovy cooks into the meat, however you can taste just enough of the anchovy, a true anchovy lover such as myself will pick up on the flavor.
My family hates anchovies and they had no clue!


Ingredients:

  • 1 Chicken breast
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 8 Chunks of pineapple
  • 8 anchovy fillets
  • Sea Salt
Preparation:
 
  1. Slice chicken into 1/8" thick strips.
  2. Place pineapple chunk at bottom
  3. Sprinkle some sea salt on top of chicken and pineapple
  4. place anchovy fillet above pineapple
  5. Roll up chicken.
  6. Wrap in Bacon and toothpick in place.
* Tip- Blot chicken and pineapple before rolling.

Chicken was sliced and the pineapple was canned, not sure if fresh would be better but I always have some canned around.

I am going to do a batch with candied pecans hopefully soon.
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
  • 4 cups pecans
[h3]Directions[/h3]
  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Spray the wax paper with cooking spray.
  2. Beat egg white until stiff. Add brown sugar and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Mix in pecans and stir until coated. Pour the nuts onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  3. Bake until browned, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Try a sweet glaze on the roaches.or use my smoked blackberry dipping sauce, its awesome.

That sounds interesting, may give that a whirl.
 
Those look Great! I have had my students do a variation on the Roaches in Hors d'oeuvre classes...The Dates were stuffed with a cube of Dry Cured Chorizo and Pepper Jack, before being wrapped in Bacon and Baked...Smoking the little buggers with the addition of Chicken would have made them Totally Awesome!...JJ

If I made a list of every Great Recipe I have seen from the SMF Crew... and Started making them One a Day...I think my GRANDKIDS would be still trying to finish the List!!!!!
