Cheddar Jalapeno Pull Apart Bread: Warm crispy bread studded with smoky bacon, gooey cheese, and spicy jalapenos. The perfect party appetizer.
Hi my name is Krystle, and I LOVE bread! Whether we are talking sandwiches, breadsticks, or even flatbread, I can never get enough carbs.
I've seen several pull apart bread recipes floating around Pinterest. They look really complex, but it couldn't be easier as long as you have a good sharp knife.
I stuffed mine with the perfect combination of salt, smoke, and spice!
It would make an easy party appetizer.

Krystle,
These look really yummy. I'm having a family get together and a girls night out in Sept so I'm glad I found this post as I think some of them will be great to serve.
Found you at the SITS Sharefest. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
