Can I make these celery stick appetizers ahead?

Absolutely! These are perfect for prepping 1-2 days before your party. Just wait to add the bacon until right before serving to keep it crispy. Store them covered in the fridge - the flavors actually get better!

Are these bacon cheddar snacks gluten-free?

Yes! All the ingredients are naturally gluten-free . Just double-check your bacon packaging if you're sensitive - some brands add gluten-containing flavorings.

What's the best way to serve these low carb appetizers?

I love arranging them on a platter with other quick bites like deviled eggs or meatballs. They're fantastic at room temperature, so no need to fuss with warming trays!

Can I use turkey bacon instead?

Of course! Turkey bacon works great if you're watching calories. Just make sure to cook it extra crispy so it crumbles nicely.
