This is a true hats off to my mum who really knows how to turn simple ingredients into wow factor! I have eaten these little molten delights, piping hot from the oven since I can remember and it’s one of those recipes that will always find its place, whether snuggly placed around the turkey at Christmas or just for easy going bitings when friends come over for drinks during this festive season. These are perfect for picnic boxes and sometimes when my little ones have been seriously seriously good, these will sneakily find their way into their snack boxes, much to the delight of a six and an eight year old!

This is so easy and doesn’t really need a huge method description. Simply cut strips of streaky bacon 1/4″ wide. Scatter a chopping board generously with straightforward white sugar. Place the strips on the sugar and roll individually into little mini bacon swissrolls. Secure with a toothpick. If you want to make these a little more sophisticated you can pop a small piece of chicken liver at the top of the bacon strip before rolling. Other little fun fillings that work very well are small pieces of dried figs or little bits of chopped mushroom. Pop under a hot grill turning a few times until the sugar has caramelized and the bacon crispy and slightly charred on the outside.

Serve piping piping hot!!
