More About This Recipe

Artichoke hearts and Parmesan baked up in bacon. So good, your game day partiers might even lose track of the score. These bites are the perfect game day snack or appetizer for any party. It all starts with some artichokes, gets a little love from some Parmesan and then wraps up in bacon. Like I said, these bites are perfect. They're super easy, great for making ahead, and I can pretty much guarantee they will make for some very happy guests! They are kind of like the new jalapeno popper, only there is a lot less work involved. Plus your eyes will not be burning for hours because you accidentally rubbed them after forgetting to wash your hands after touching the jalapenos. Yeah, been there, done that. But don’t worry, these bites still have a little kick in them in the form of a spicy chipotle aioli. You're going to love the flavor! Just downright delicious. Try only eating a few… Yeah – not even possible.
