I'm thinking of making little hors d'oevres for my parents dinner one night just to mix things up

and give them variety. What canapes do you like?

1. My favorite (not for dieters or the faint of heart)

Jalapeno peppers, deveined and seeded. Stuff with cream cheese and wrap with bacon.

Put a toothpick through it and bake until bacon is crispy.

Not as spicy as you might imagine.

2. Oh that does sound good. I'll have to try that sometime when my parents are not eating...they don't

like "hot food" of any kind.

3. Bacon candy.

Coat bacon in brown sugar, roll up and pin with a tooth pick and bake.

4. I'm easy!

I like those little hot dogs wrapped in a crescent roll! Ham and cheese rolled in a soft wrap, then sliced into little wheels is easy too.

5. Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts....

Take a whole (not sliced) water chestnut and wrap it with 1/3 slice of bacon. Just before you secure it with a toothpick, put in a pinch of brown sugar.

Spread 2-3 dozen around on a foil-lined baking pan and slide 'em in the oven for 25 mins at 400 (or whenever the bacon looks done enough for you).


Looks good, tastes good, easy to prepare.
