Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz. can Dr Pepper
  • 1/4 c. dark brown sugar
  • juice of 1/2 orange
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 T. fresh tarragon minced
  • 8 slices dark rye bread crust removed and sliced in half
  • 8 slices bacon sliced in half

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mix together the cream cheese and tarragon.
  • Refer to pictures above and place one half slice of bacon on a flat surface, top with one slice of bread and spread the bread with about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.
  • Repeat with the remaining 15 bacon and bread slices and cream cheese.
  • Place the bacon roll ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
