Bacon Appetizer Crescents are little bites of deliciousness! Serve them for tailgating, holiday parties or with a glass of wine – they are always a hit!
Bacon Appetizer Crescents
With so many winter social gatherings centered around sporting events, everyone is looking for fun and easy finger foods for their guests to devour. This appetizer fits that description to the letter and even has bacon, which is a sure win with the meat-loving folks out there.
I plucked this little gem from a Philadelphia Cream Cheese cookbook I’ve literally had for at least 20 years (oops, dated myself again) and while the page has been marked that whole time I never tried this one.
The only adjustment I made to the instructions was to make the dough bigger; the original recipe calls for them to be half this size, but I didn’t think they’d hold together as nicely at a smaller size. So, in essence, you could pop open a pack of crescent rolls, separate the triangles and assemble that way. But since I didn’t consider the finished size until I was three-quarters prepped, I had to adapt on the fly and just re-made the triangles I had worked so hard at crimping closed. Still, they turned out perfect and even my picky eaters loved them!

There is nothing in the recipe I don’t like! You had me at bacon, but then I saw cream cheese … I am in love!
Thank you for linking up to In and Out of the Kitchen! I look forward to seeing what you bring next week.

Hi Cynthia! Yes, I had my hubby at bacon too; he’s a bit of a purist with his bacon, but he loved these and is already bugging me to make them again. Guess that little sports shin-dig on Sunday is as good a time as any. Thanks for the comment and try out these little goodies when you have the chance. 🙂
Curious what the cookbook is called? I would love to check it out!
Hi Brandy and thanks for the comment! The recipe is from Philadelphia Cream Cheese’s “Finest Recipe Collection,” which I bought back in 1992 or 1993. It even references flavors Philly doesn’t make anymore (smoked salmon, olive & pimento), so I’m not sure if there’s a current version of this cookbook available. Maybe eBay or other auction sites have it? Good luck!
This looks just wonderful! I’d love for you to share it at Tuesday’s Table – http://zentmrs.blogspot.com/2013/01/tuesdays-table-superbowl-edition.html
