So, this post was originally going to be some kind of way (way way way way) over the top fudge recipe, but I was looking at my calendar, and since I’ve color coded sweet and savory recipes to make sure there’s a balance, it was pretty easy to see that there was absolutely no balance in December. Sweets won out! Now, I still have way more sweet recipes in December than others, but I’m letting myself get away with it because…. well, it’s my blog. And I can eat cookies the whole month of December if I want to. But I thought I should have at least a few savory holiday options for you, but I couldn’t let go of my love of cranberries this time of year (Maybe this Cranberry Apple Cider rings a bell? Or these White Chocolate Cranberry Sweet Rolls? Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Blondies?). And then bacon and cheese because bacon and cheese. I can’t seem to make many appetizers without them. I used a Smoked Cheddar from a local cheese company, and it was totally unreal. It complements the smokiness of the bacon so well! I just love all of the different flavors and textures in these crostini: sweet, salty, smoky, cheesy flavors. Gooey, chewy, crunchy, saucy textures. It really is everything you want in one bite!
