Pepper Jelly Pinwheels

"Pepper Jelly Pinwheels are a delicious, sweet, and savory snack. The cream cheese, bacon, and pepper jelly come together to make the famous appetizer for holidays and showers. Every piece has that perfect mix of creamy, spicy, and buttery, and they disappear fast because they’re so easy to grab and snack on. It’s a simple idea that feels special, and once you make them, they tend to become a go‑to. Two other favorites from my appetizer table are my Cocktail Sausage Recipe and Candied Grapes. It is good to have a nice variety. They are so delicious, easy to make, and work as the perfect snack or appetizer! I love to make my own pepper jelly. It is great to have on hand. By beating the pepper jelly into the cream cheese, you create a stable mousse. Traditional pinwheels often slide apart because the jelly acts like a lubricant; this method acts like glue. You get the crunch of bacon and scallions against the pillowy softness of the tortilla and cream. It hits the “red pepper jelly & cream cheese” nostalgia but presents it in a clean, sophisticated, finger-food format."
