Bacon is life. This recipe is a combo of heaven. I tell you, im never going back!
10/10 would recommend! But be careful of the toothpicks, they poked me! 😂
Not a fan of how sweet it was, I think less brown sugar would be better.
My mom always said fruit should be for dessert, so I don’t know about this.
Is cayenne pepper really necessary? Seems a bit odd to spice up fruit.
Simple and delicious! The flavor combo is just perfect!
Sounds good, but bacon and pineapple? Not so sure about that mix. 🤔
Totally agree! These are a hit at parties! Can’t wait to make them again!
Was hesitant about bacon and pineapple together but wow, this works! 🍍🥓
You mean to tell me people eat fruit with bacon? Interesting… but no thanks.
Yeah, it sounds weird at first, but trust me, it’s amazing! The sweet and salty combo is to die for! 🍍🥓
I tried this, but the bacon didn’t crisp up right. What did I do wrong? 😟
Maybe your oven wasn’t hot enough? I always use a thermometer to check. Good luck! 👍
I don’t think bacon can never be crispy, maybe you wrapped it too tight? Just a thought.
These are amazing! I made them for a party and they were the first thing gone!
