What a terrific little recipe. I just loved these small balls and will certainly make them again.

Yummo, what a burst of flavour these morsels are. A huge hit here, I ended up with about fourteen balls, maybe due to the size of my bacon rashes. These little beauties don't need any condiment, they are great just by themselves. Thanks for the recipe!
