these were a hit at New Years! We thought it was a good flavour combination....even the skeptics liked them in the end!

OUTSTANDING! I am making these for the 2nd time in 48 hours. Once for a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner and now for a tailgait party. These are absolutely amazing and 100% addictive. You will not be sorry you tried these. One recommendation - I have cut the bacon into thirds both times, but am not real happy with that. I think I would prefer to buy 2 packages of bacon, cut into only halves, and wrap around the pineapple more. Perhaps my pineapple chunks were just too big (I used fresh and cut myself), but I think it would be better to wrap the pineapple more. Just my thought. This is a keeper!
