Bacon Twirls are a treat for any time of the year. They are incredibly easy to create and only have four ingredients. When it comes to the bacon, always use smoked streaky for the smell and subtle flavour. Ideal for snacks and loved by children and adults. I make these in advance for when my grandchildren pop in. They are always a hit. I use cheddar cheese but parmesan can also be used.
