  1. Bacon Marmalade Twists

These crunchy, buttery, salty twists are a favorite on cheese boards, appetizer spreads and party trays. Spread Bacon Marmalade into puff pastry, twist and bake! We love adding crumbled blue cheese to the fillings too. Get the recipe here.

2. Smoked Salmon Puff Pastry Bites

Need an easy group appetizer? These bites have the flavors of lox and cream cheese, but in a buttery puff pastry bite and made with our rich White Three Cheese Sauce. We like to prep the filling ahead of time and spoon into the bites ahead of a buy-out. Get the recipe.
