Ingredients (Makes ~12 Bites)

How To Make It

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2: Stuff the Peppadews
Use a small spoon or piping bag to fill each peppadew with goat cheese or cream cheese. Don’t overfill—they’re small but mighty.

Step 3: Wrap in Bacon
Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed pepper. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place wrapped peppers on your baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and golden. Flip halfway through for even crisp.

Step 5: Optional Drizzle
Right before serving, drizzle lightly with raw honey or blackstrap molasses for a touch of sweetness + depth.
