I love bacon-wrapped recipes, and these sweet-smoky snacks are easy to make and fun to eat, so be prepared with an extra batch. For a change, sprinkle them with a bit of blue cheese or toasted almonds. —Tammie Floyd, Plano, Texas

Test Kitchen Tips

For easy cleanup, spritz your measuring spoons with a little cooking spray before measuring sticky ingredients like honey.

Maple-flavored bacon strips give this dish additional flavor, but feel free to substitute plain bacon if you can't find it.
