HOWITZERS

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups butter, melted
1 package (16 ounces, 18-inches x 14-inches sheet size) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 cups cranberry jelly
6 pieces bacon, fried until crisp
8 ounces Laughing Cow Cheese triangles cut into four portions.
1/4 cup finely diced jalapeno pepper

Directions

Take an individual phyllo sheet and brush it generously with melted butter (Keep remaining phyllo covered with waxed paper to avoid drying out.)
Using a sharp knife measure into three by three inch squares and place the squares butter side down into a 24 count mini muffin tin. Cut each slice of crisped bacon into 4 equal pieces and place one into each phyllo cup.
Top with a cube of cheese, 1/8 of a tsp of finely diced jalapeno pepper, and a 1/2 tsp of cranberry sauce.
Fold over to form a bundle and brush with more melted butter.
You can freeze these on the tray at this point and then, once frozen, remove to a freezer bag.
Bake at 400° for 10 minutes if defrosted, or 20 minutes if frozen or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Yield: 24
Enjoy!

    Lynday a wise person to get their mate to do the work for, this is
    ingenious, I’ve use the technique myself. Now back to the recipe. These
    little jalapeno, bacon, and who would guess cranberry bundles your husband
    referred to as howitzers looked absolutely like the perfect holiday
    appetizer, nice job!

    Howdy, Wellses!! Just wanted you to know, I just made Howitzers for
    Christmas Dinner tomorrow [my sis has to work Thursday]. One word:
    Fee-NOM-in-nal!! The only mod I made to your recipe is that I used my
    momma’s recipe of cranberry relish and some flavored Laughing Cow.
