Bacon wrapped olives are one of those incredible combinations that require a lot of self control. Not in making them, but in eating them. Talk about addictive!

The first time I made bacon wrapped olives for a party, I asked my brother, “Aren’t these amazing?” as he was popping them into his mouth.

His response? “How can you go wrong with salt and fat?” Good point.

Actually, the combination of the salty, pimento-stuffed green olives and bacon, especially when still hot out of the oven, is nothing short of marvelous. As you can see, I chose bacon with very little fat. What you can’t see is that it has added nitrates or nitrites (just natural nitrates from celery).

For more ideas for appetizers and cocktail party bites, I’ve put a list together here.

Serve bacon wrapped olives as an appetizer, or part of a buffet. They’re superb for cocktail parties, but just as good for snacks or even picnics!

Although I think they’re best just out of the oven, room temperature is just fine, too. My husband calls me “Teflon Mouth”, so unless you’re like me, be careful eating them too quickly from the oven. 😂

  2. I just pinned this and will be making this soon! Thanks for giving us this great sounding recipe. We generally keep large pimento-stuffed olives in our house, so all we need now is the bacon.
