My little twist: I added bacon bits to each of the cups. SUPER delicious! My first batch disappeared in a matter of minutes & then I had everyone hovering near the oven asking "Are they done yet?" :)

These bites are really good. I would spray the top of the tin as well as the cups next time because there were some of my cups that got on the top and stuck. Mine did not look as perfect as the picture, but they sure tasted good. they were pretty easy to assemble. Will definitely make again.

I made this last Christmas for a family get together. They went quickly! I found out at this year's family gathering that many of my family members had made it for other parties during the year. Looking forward to making these again soon!

These are delicious! My kids love them, my girlfriends love them, and they make a very elegant appetizer. I brought them to a dinner party and they are much better warm - eat them fresh out of the oven or make sure you keep them warm. DELICIOUS!
