Y’all, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll have you swooning faster than a Southern belle at a garden party! I’m talking about my Mama’s secret Honey Butter Biscuit Bites with Candied Bacon – a heavenly combination that’ll make your taste buds do the Charleston!
Listen, honey, I know what it’s like when those late-night munchies hit. Sometimes a girl just needs something more satisfying than those boring old potato chips, am I right? 😉
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 can buttermilk biscuits (I won’t judge if they’re store-bought!)
– 6 strips of thick-cut bacon
– 4 tablespoons butter, melted
– 3 tablespoons honey
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– A pinch of cayenne (trust me on this one!)
Now, before we dive in, if you’re loving this recipe already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more drool-worthy Southern recipes that’ll make your grandma proud!
Let’s get cooking:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F. While it’s heating up, cut each biscuit into four pieces – we want these babies bite-sized!
1. For the candied bacon (this is where the magic happens), sprinkle brown sugar on both sides of each strip. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re crispy. Watch them like a hawk – nobody likes burnt bacon!
1. While the bacon’s doing its thing, mix that melted butter and honey together. Lord have mercy, the smell alone will drive you crazy!
1. Dip each biscuit bite in the honey butter mixture (yes, every single one – we’re not counting calories at midnight!) and place them on another baking sheet.
1. Once the bacon is done and cooled, crumble it into bits. Sprinkle that goodness over your biscuit bites along with just a teensy pinch of cayenne.
1. Pop those bites in the oven for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown and looking irresistible.
Y’all, when these come out of the oven, try to wait at least 2 minutes before diving in – I know it’s hard, but those honey butter burns are no joke!
