Looking for ideas

[jake0531]

Looking for ideas on snacking/small appetizers, something for everyone to have before the food is done and just hanging out
I like the idea of trying to make something like the cinnamon sugar peanuts they have at cabelas this time of year. Haven’t looked at recipes but figure if anyone has any I’d give them a try
Also like bacon candy ideas. Post your favorite bacon candy recipes
Any other small appetizers or snacks would be appreciated. Trying to give stuff a try to have my Super Bowl snacks ready when that time comes

This first one is not bacon, but it can be made the day before and either reheated or just set out and served at room temperature. These are slices of Plum Pork, a Chinese appetizer made from pork tenderloin., they look larger in the photo than in real life. This involves a marinade, a finishing sauce on the grill, and a plum dipping sauce. Some toasted sesame seeds are on the side for more dipping and crunch.

No cooking for this one. This is prosciutto (Italian ham) that has been wrapped around mango cubes served on mint leaves. The saltiness of the ham and sweet of the mango go well together.

Now these appetizers.... are bacon seasoned in the pig candy style with brown sugar and cayenne, wrapped around an all beef Li'l Smokey. It takes 1/3 of a slice of bacon to wrap each Smokey, so if you buy a 50 count bag, you need 17 or 18 slices of bacon. the Smokies are already cooked, so when the bacon is your indicator of doneness.

Storing Up For Winter

It was a beautiful day today in Ohio. So I thought I'd take a cue from the squirrels and store for winter. These things freeze really well and are just as good reheated in the oven. I was hoping to make more, but these are all of the jalapeno's I could find. They are stuffed with hot...
