Caramelized Jalapeno Bacon Twists

Teresa Ambra
Caramelized Jalapeno Bacon Twists is the ultimate appetizer for holiday or company parties. This spicy Tex-Mex appetizer uses jalapeno-rubbed bacon to provide heat and brown sugar and cinnamon to caramelize the bacon. It's an easy 3-ingredient recipe that's a delightful change of pace from regular party appetizers. We served this appetizer at a high school graduation party and all the students loved them.
