Bite sized and packed with flavor, these brussels sprouts and bacon skewers are easy to put together and the perfect appetizer for your holiday party!

Boy, do I have the easiest and bacon-iest recipe for you today! Yes, bacon-iest is a word, if you were wondering.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you might have seen that I had a pretty fantastic Saturday. It started with a fabulous toast situation for breakfast, followed by an Insta-stories recap of how I made these brussels sprout and bacon skewers, an afternoon with Molly Yeh where she made spinach and feta rugelach and chocolate tahini cake, and it ended with a Friendsgiving celebration where these skewers were gobbled up!

Talk about fantastic!

Speaking of fantastic, let’s talk brussels… or brussels sprouts with BACON. Because bacon just makes everything better. Amiright??

We both know I’m right.

Brussels sprouts and bacon are a match made in heaven and these cute little skewers are so easy to make and even easier to gobble up. Plus they are perfect for a Thanksgiving appetizer – let’s break it down…

1. Two ingredients – just TWO! Because we don’t count salt and pepper.
2. We use the leftover bacon fat to roast the sprouts. Obviously.
3. Bite-sized. I like eating single bite appetizers instead of larger portions because I can try more things. #gimmealltheapps
4. Can be eaten with one hand. No need to set your wine glass down to eat these babes. You’re welcome friends.
