Tips:

For crispy bacon, cook it in a single layer in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until desired crispness.
To keep the bacon from curling, soak it in cold water for 30 minutes before wrapping.
If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
For a more flavorful appetizer, use a variety of bacon, such as applewood smoked bacon or peppered bacon.
Get creative with your fillings! You can use anything from cheese and vegetables to fruit and nuts.
If you're making bacon-wrapped appetizers ahead of time, cook them and then let them cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
