Crispy Bacon Grilled Cheese Roll Ups

by

Two favorite foods rolled into one! Okay, maybe not to everyone.

I was out with my friends one day, and we were talking about food. One of my friends mentioned how much she loved bacon sandwiches. I had never had one before, so she decided to make me one.

I was really excited to try it, but when I took my first bite, I was really disappointed. It was just a piece of bacon between two slices of bread. I mean, don’t get me wrong, bacon is delicious. But a bacon sandwich? It just didn’t do it for me.

I think the problem was that I was expecting something different. I was expecting something more than just bacon and bread. I was expecting something special. But in the end, it was just a sandwich.  So I set out to find a bacon sandwich that was so much more than just bacon on bread.

Holly at Spend with Pennies shows you how to roll a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon. Great idea! Holly has lots of great ideas, including a no-bake rolo pie that caught my eye. Check out her site!

This might be the perfect pick me up for the rainy and chilly forecast this weekend. Now to figure out if we will watch a movie or play board games while enjoying them.

These don’t have to be just for breakfast, perfect for afternoon snacks or midnight feasts too. If you love bacon you are going to love these!

We love Bacon here at Craftgossip, in face we actually created a Pinterest board just for Bacon. THE WORLDS BEST BACON RECIPES.

Crazy about bacon? So I was looking around for new Bacon recipes and guess what I came across?

No, seriously you will never ever guess. A Bacon Scratch and Sniff cookbook!  I know you are as curious as me right now and that is why I just had to buy it too as a gift for my bacon-loving husband.

The Bacon Scratch & Sniff Cookbook promises to sway even the most hardened vegetarians with its forty bacon-centric recipes (not to mention its nifty scratch-and-sniff feature on the book’s cover)—from piggy snacks, including caramel bacon popcorn, candied bacon strips, and bacon-wrapped sweet potato wedges, to heartier main dishes like bacon-covered mac-and-cheese burgers, smoky bacon tacos, and the ultimate pasta carbonara. Did we mention dessert too? You’ll also find bacon and pecan ice cream, choc-bacon cookies, and everything bacon imaginable. It’s time to pig out, because everything is better with bacon!

  1. I really love this idea. Im sure i can figure out how to put this together from the picture but directions would be nice.

  2. Click on the web page in blue, that brings you to the web page that gives you the direction

  3. Click on the web page that is in blue letters and that will bring you to web page. The recipe and tutorial is right there

  4. I just tried clicking on the Blue letters and it’s not taking me to a page with instructions. It just keeps loading the same page. Can you email the directions to me?

    Thank You

    J.R.

  6. I’d say go for the movies… the board game pieces might end up a bit messy, as these look like finger-foods. 8)

  8. Would really like to try these, but I can’t find the recipe anywhere. You’re mentioning clicking “on the web page that is in blue letters…”, but I don’t see the url anywhere. Would you mind posting it? Thanks!

  12. These look amazing but I would like to have the recipe too. Can’t get anything to come up for it.

  16. Seriously? Do people even care about their health and well being? I’m all for yummy but this looks like instant heartburn and is why most Americans are sporting an extra 15 pounds or so. And the scariest thing…most of you drooling over this “recipe” are probably wishing profoundly that they were only a mere 15 pounds overweight. The choices we make are why we’re happy or not. Food that doesn’t nourish the body as well as the soul are why you feel like crap. Just sayin’….

  23. Clicked on the link for bacon wrapped grilled cheese numerous time to get receipe, each time went back to same page with no receipe…. Not happy… 🙁

  26. How do I get your receipts ? I am home bound and can not get out so can I get them on FB or what?

  27. i clicked on the link and still do not get the directions to the crispy bacon grilled chesse roll ups!

  29. No directions that I can find. When I click on the blue lettered web page, it just comes right back to here. Bad design to say the least.

  37. HELP STILL CAN NOT FIND THE RECIPES FOR THE BACON AND GRILLED CHEESE ROLL UPS AND THE HAMBURGER AND BACON ROLL UPS. BEEN TRYING FOR AN HOUR. THANKS

Quick and Easy Dubai Chocolate-Dipped Dates

I’m completely smitten with the idea of Dubai-style desserts — elegant, a touch exotic, and somehow always Instagram-ready. I haven’t made it to Dubai (yet), but these chocolate-dipped dates bring that luxe, golden glow right into my kitchen. They’re the kind of treat that looks like you spent hours making them, but really, you’re done in under twenty minutes.

They’re sweet, sticky, nutty, and just the right amount of fancy. Perfect for gifting, nibbling with coffee, or impressing that friend who thinks “homemade” means complicated.

Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted 
  • ¼ cup pistachios or almonds (to stuff inside) 
  • 100g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer it sweet) 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate) 
  • Crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or edible gold flakes for decoration 

Instructions

  1. Prep the Dates:
     Slice each date along one side to remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact. Fill the cavity with a whole almond or a few chopped pistachios. Gently close the date back up.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
     Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Dip and Decorate:
     Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, coconut, or a pinch of edible gold flakes for that Dubai sparkle.
  4. Chill and Serve:
     Pop the tray into the fridge for about 10–15 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Serve on a pretty platter or package them in small gift boxes.

Optional Flavor Twists

  • Rose Touch: Add a drop of rose water to the melted chocolate for a floral note. 
  • Saffron Luxe: Dust the top with crushed saffron threads before chilling. 
  • Coffee Kick: Dip in mocha-flavored chocolate for a bolder bite. 

Why You’ll Love These

They’re everything Dubai desserts stand for — rich, refined, and effortlessly elegant. A little old-world tradition wrapped in modern chocolate bliss. Keep a few in the fridge for when you need something sweet but can’t be bothered to turn on the oven.
