Sooo, I was sitting around one day, just thinking about how nice it would be to pop a hot, gooey, cheesy, bacon wrapped little dough puff into my mouth, yep, that’s what I was doing…sadly it’s true, LOL!
Anyway, once that thought invaded my head, I knew that my life wouldn’t move forward until I got busy and made them a reality!
Annnd here we are! These succulent, and decadent little one biters are so good, so addictive and so down right dangerous, that you will need a Chaperone if you plan on being alone with them!
~And the Chaperone will need a Chaperone too!! 🙂
These little bites can cause bad, bad things to happen, like before you know it, the plate is empty and your pants are strangely smaller! But they’re so worth it…
What you’ll need for 32 bursting Bacon Bombs:
1 can (8ct.) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits
Cubed Mozzarella Cheese (1-1″ cube per Bomb)
2 lbs. of Bacon (1 slice per Bomb)
Sticks
Oil for frying (I used Canola)
Directions:
Cube up the Cheese, and cut each Biscuit into fourths. Place one piece of Cheese inside a Biscuit quarter, and roll it up in there, nice and tight…
Wrap each rolled Bomb in a slice of Bacon, and secure it with a skewer or toothpick…
In a med/large pot, heat up approx. 2″ of Oil (to 350 degrees) and fry them up in small batches. Maybe one or two at a time, the oil will expand so stay close…
Drain them on some Paper Towel, but serve them up good and warm, so they do this…
Take a good, close look at them before you share them, because they’ll be gone in a matter of seconds…
Be sure to grab some for you, since you did all the work..lol!
You deserve it, yes you do…
Prepare for a Bacony, Cheesy, explosion of deliciousness! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Has anyone tried to cook these on the bbq yet?
I baked these yesterday. As with most, I went 350. Didn’t use toothpicks. Yep the cheese spilled out. They did hold shape, though. Maybe 450 would crisp better without cheese oozing. Also agree it needs a little kicl of flavor. I am going to try less bacon, 450 oven, and maple syrup glaze. I have 5 days to get this right for a retirement breakfast. I am confident I can make it happen.
So great to get feedback on the baking method, as so many people are wondering! Thank you so much and let us know how it goes! 🙂
I just made these and dipped them in BBQ sauce. I used honey butter biscuits so I didn’t have a “flavor” issue, made them a little sweeter. Cut the bacon in half (I bought thick sliced) and used string cheese. I think using different cheese might be fun and maybe some sauté onions in with the cheese.
After seeing these little guys EVERYWHERE (I nearly died salivating the first time I saw them, so after the second or third time I saw them, I just kept a window open on my phone of the recipe, all the time…so I could look at them… is that weird?), I knew I had to try them. First off, I was really impressed with how filling they are. I thought no way was one batch going to be suitable for a total binge-fest, but I was wrong. I made them as a lunch/snack type deal, and ate them all throughout the day, a few at a time, and I wasn’t hungry at all. I did some with cheddar, and some with mozzarella – both were good. I was a little disappointed because mine didn’t taste as good as I *thought* they should, you know, like falling-apart-on-the-kitchen-floor-because-life-will-never-be-the-same-and-now-I’ve-got-to-make-these-every-day good. But I think it really came down to the ingredients I used. I did use the Grands biscuits, and the cheese I bought was good, but I think I picked up some sub-par bacon, and that definitely affected the taste. Also, I didn’t allocate enough cheese to each “bite”, because I thought there wouldn’t be enough buscuity goodness to cover the cubes of cheese. Overall, it’s a great snack, & a great recipe, but be sure to use quality ingredients and PLENTY of cheese to get that “fetal-position-on-the-kitchen-floor” effect! I’ll be attempting them again soon 🙂
