These sweet-heat crescent brie bites combine melty brie, Tabasco® jalapeño pepper jelly, bacon, and pecans for an easy Louisiana-inspired appetizer perfect for entertaining or the holidays. Makes 24 bite-sized appetizers.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Lightly cook the bacon either in a skillet or in the microwave between two pieces of paper towel. (Don’t overcook, as you will be baking the bacon as well.)
3. Roll out the crescent dough on parchment paper. (If using the roll dough, you’ll need to pinch the seams together.) Cut into 24 squares with a pizza cutter. Place squares into the muffin tin openings.
4. Cut the brie into 24 chunks small enough to fit into each piece of dough, and place them inside the crescent dough.
5. Top each piece of cheese / dough with 1/2 teaspoon each of Tabasco Jalapeño Pepper Jelly and 1/2 teaspoon chopped pecans.
6. Tuck a piece (or two) of cooked bacon on top of each bite.
7. Bake until about 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Optionally, drizzle with hot honey before serving warm.
