A Bacon Truffle for Christmas

We made bacon pops without the lollipop sticks aka Bacon Bombs aka Bacon Truffles for Telisha’s Xcellent Xmas Xtravaganza party.

Party go-ers said that they were really good and full of that bacon flavour.

The recipe for your holiday enjoyment:

• 4 ounces of goat cheese
• 4 ounces of cream cheese (brick form, not whipped)

– Mix these this together  until smooth with a spoon each of dried basil and black pepper. Then, roll the ‘truffle’ into a big jawbreaker-sized ball and place onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Freeze for 5 minutes to firm up the ‘truffle’ balls.

• 1 package of bacon finely chopped (bake in oven for 20 minutes)
• finely chopped pecans
• spoonful each of basil and pepper

– Roll the ‘truffle’ into the above mixture of dry ingredients. Then, eat.
