Crunchy Turkey Bacon & Peanut Butter Hazelnut Bites

Ingredients

- 12 slices turkey bacon
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 24 round buttery crackers
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted

Instructions

1. Prepare Turkey Bacon:
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and lay the turkey bacon strips in a single layer.
- Cook the bacon for about 6 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and browned.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease. Let cool slightly and break into smaller pieces that fit on a cracker.

2. Toast Hazelnuts:
- While the bacon is cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spread the chopped hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes until they become fragrant and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
- Remove from oven and let cool.

3. Assemble the Bites:
- Spread a generous teaspoon of peanut butter on each cracker.
- Place a piece of turkey bacon on top of the peanut butter layer.
- Sprinkle a few toasted hazelnut pieces over the top for added crunch and flavor.

4. Serve:
- Arrange the completed bites on a platter and serve immediately as a delightful snack option for your guests.
