This recipe deserves way more than 5 stars, I made this over the weekend on my outdoor grill and I cannot wait to make it again, these were devoured in no time flat! I made this using prosciutto but next time I am going to try it with wide bacon strips, thanks for sharing this great recipe hon!...Kitten:)
