Bacon-Wrapped Apricot Bites

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

    about 2 dozen (2/3 cup sauce)

Ingredients

  • 8 maple-flavored bacon strips
  • 1 package (6 ounces) dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup honey barbecue sauce

Directions

  • Cut bacon strips widthwise into thirds. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.

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.
