History

  • 2025-02-22 – Made these for the Three Pints Gone House Party. They took about 85 minutes using very thick bacon. I added the cayenne pepper and think it’s a good thing to keep. May bump it up a little more next time. These didn’t last long in on the food table! Yummy! Note: I made these before but didn’t document it. They were good then too.
