Appetizer Game Day

Do something just a little bit unexpected for your next at-home happy hour by serving these Spicy Bacon Wrapped Olives instead of the usual boring snacks! –Jump to Recipe

The next time you need an appetizer that is going to completely impress your friends/family/coworkers pull out this recipe for Spicy Bacon Wrapped Olives. You can easily make these delectably salty bite-sized morsels a day (or so) in advance then pop them in the oven right to bake before serving. They are a fun new flavor explosion that you can’t help but devour!

Salty snacks need to be well balanced and our favorite jalapeno stuffed Pearls® Specialties olives are perfect for this Spicy Bacon Wrapped Olives recipe. If you are in a pinch I recommend keeping things easy by simply wrapping these ripe olives in bacon then baking them until crispy. There are several other varieties of Pearls® Specialties olives available on Amazon or at a store near you that would be equally delicious wrapped in bacon.

Since we had a little more time on our hands I removed the jalapeños from the olives. Then mixed them into a nice cream cheese blend and re-stuffed the olives. Naturally we still wrapped them in bacon too. These Spicy Bacon Wrapped Olives really put those other poppers to shame! Try brushing them with a sweet glaze for a contrasting flavor combo!
