When it comes to parties, I’m firmly in the camp of wanting to spend more time with my guests and less time in the kitchen !

How to make Bacon Wrapped Pineapple with Brown Sugar – step by step

- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and soy sauce.
- Brush each bacon wrapped pineapple in the brown sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
- Serve hot or cold.
- Enjoy!
Hot or Cold Pineapple Appetizer
At parties, I love being able to just put out a few trays of goodies so people can help themselves. Some finger foods work better than others! These cute bacon wrapped pineapple chunks are really delicious straight out of the oven, but they still keep all of their flavors at room temperature! Pop out a tray and let the guests do their thing!
Pineapple Appetizers on toothpicks
I love serving appetizers on tooth picks, they’re easy for guests to pick up and keep their fingers clean in between sips of wine. The beauty about these, is that the tooth picks are inserted before cooking to keep the bacon in place, so once they are cooked, all you need to do is transfer them to a serving plate. It couldn’t get easier!
Bacon Wrapped Pineapple is the perfect sweet and salty party food!
Anything sweet and salty is always a winner with me, and this appetizer has the perfect balance! Sweetness from the pineapple and brown sugar combined with the saltiness of the bacon and soy sauce creates an addictive flavor combination. Maybe you should make a double or triple batch!
Top tips for making Bacon Wrapped Pineapple
- Be sure to use dark brown sugar – it contains more molasses for a more complex flavor.
- Use canned pineapple for convenience, but feel free to use fresh and cut your own!
- Use a high quality bacon.
- Use a low sodium soy sauce – regular will be too strong.
- Prep these appetizers ahead of time and keep covered, then pop them in the oven just before your guests arrive.
- Serve with some refreshing cocktails like Mojito Pitcher , Spicy Cucumber Margarita or a Ginger Raspberry Crush Cocktail.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
