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

10 Ice Cubes That Instantly Elevate Champagne

Elegant flavour cubes to add sparkle, colour, and effortless glamour to your next glass.

Champagne has a way of making even the smallest moment feel worth celebrating. But if you’ve ever wanted to dress up your bubbles without turning your kitchen into a full cocktail bar, flavoured ice cubes are a beautiful, simple upgrade.

They melt slowly, add subtle flavour, and make your glass look like something you’d order in a rooftop bar — except you’re probably standing in your kitchen, still wearing comfy pants, hiding from the dog who’s trying to steal the cheese board. Relatable.

And the best part? You can freeze these weeks ahead, so when guests arrive (or when you finally collapse after a long day), all you have to do is drop in a cube and top it with Champagne.

Here are 10 elegant Champagne-friendly ice cubes, each designed to add colour and sophistication to your favourite bottle.

1. Classic Strawberry Champagne Cube (Blush Pink)

Per cube:
 • 1–2 strawberry slices
 • 1 rose petal (optional)
 • Fill with water

Adds a soft pink blush and gentle berry sweetness.

2. Lemon Twist Sparkle Cube (Bright Gold)

Per cube:
 • A curl of lemon peel
 • 1 tiny lemon segment
 • Fill with sparkling water

Brightens up drier Champagnes and adds brunch-energy sparkle.

3. Pear + Vanilla Luxe Cube (Creamy White)

Per cube:
 • 1 pear slice
 • A sliver of vanilla bean
 • Fill with water

Soft, elegant, and perfect for cosy winter evenings.

4. Raspberry + Elderflower Blush Cube (Romantic Pink)

Per cube:
 • 2 raspberries
 • ½ tsp elderflower cordial
 • Fill with water

Adds subtle sweetness and makes a stunning brunch cocktail.

5. Blood Orange Sunset Cube (Vibrant Orange)

Per cube:
 • 1 thin slice blood orange
 • Fill with water

Turns budget bubbles into a chic citrus cocktail.

6. Lavender Champagne Serenity Cube (Soft Violet)

Per cube:
 • Pinch of culinary lavender
 • 1 piece lemon peel
 • Fill with water or cooled chamomile tea

Smells like a spa, tastes like a holiday.

7. Blackberry + Mint Celebration Cube (Deep Purple)

Per cube:
 • 2 blackberries
 • 1 mint leaf
 • Fill with water

Gives Champagne a jewel-tone glow.

8. Edible Gold Rose Cube (Luxury Gold + Pink)

Per cube:
 • 1 small edible rose petal
 • Pinch of edible gold dust
 • Fill with water

If “Champagne but make it fancy” had a mascot, it would be this.

9. Grapefruit + Rosemary Chic Cube (Coral + Green)

Per cube:
 • 1 small grapefruit segment
 • 1 rosemary tip
 • Fill with water

For those who like a more grown-up, botanical sparkle.

10. Lychee + Lime Exotic Cube (Soft White + Green)

Per cube:
 • 1 canned lychee (halved)
 • A tiny lime twist
 • Fill with water

Light, fresh, and beautifully aromatic — perfect for summer Champagne.

Hosting Hack: The Champagne Cube Bar

Arrange bowls of colourful cubes on a platter beside the chilled bottle, and let guests build their own glass. It’s simple, stunning, and makes even a casual gathering feel like New Year’s Eve.

Make-Ahead Note

These cubes freeze beautifully for at least a month, so they’re a brilliant little “do it now, enjoy it later” trick — especially helpful when life gets busy and you still want a touch of sparkle.

My Favourite Amazon Ice Cube Trays

I’ve tried cheap trays, weird silicone ones that smell like the cupboard, and everything in between. These are the ones that never leave my freezer, especially in December:

Large Square Cocktail Ice Tray – perfect for rosemary sprigs, citrus slices, and whole cranberries. 

Sphere Ice Mold for Festive Cocktail Balls – this makes those gorgeous big cocktail spheres that look so elegant in champagne coupes or gin glasses. 

Jumbo Ice Cube Tray With Lid – great when you’re prepping for a  party and don’t want your ice smelling like last week’s leftovers. I love the ones with the lids as I can stack them and make bulk batches, but putting the lid on does mean you can’t have sprigs sticking out. So I mix and match.

For something a little extra special , I have this rose mold and love it.

These dried flowers are also great for popping into drinks- Dried ones mean you can buy them ahead of time , ready to go.

Use whatever shape suits your drink style — cubes feel classic, spheres feel bougie, and no one is mad either way.
