We are in prime holiday season and I don't know about you, but I need a ton of appetizer recipes on hand to get through to the end of the year.

From Thanksgiving to Christmas, Friendsgiving to New Year's Eve, there are about five million parties that are screaming for the perfect appetizer to stuff your face with. These little stuffed mushrooms are so easy to make and they are awesome for taking over to a party that you are attending. They are not too heavy so they won't spoil your appetite, but you might have trouble stopping at just one or too.

The earthy mushroom, the savory bacon and all the herbs blend together to make a delicious bite of crispy-topped perfection.
