Easy Pumpkin Appetizers Drizzled with Honey
First, let’s get this out of the way… I might be THE only person out there that does not like many pumpkin recipes. {GASP!} Most of my family does like pumpkin though, so it’s a must have on Thanksgiving.
I wanted to create a pumpkin dip or appetizer that I would actually like to eat, as well as serving on Thanksgiving or for a party. I do like the sweetness that pumpkin adds to certain dishes like cheesecake or these amazing pumpkin spice latte cinnamon rolls. I just don’t like pumpkin dishes without cream cheese or a chocolate combination.
After I started brainstorming pumpkin recipe ideas, I thought about the two things I love best in this world right after chocolate… goat cheese and bacon!
After playing around with the taste, I came up with the perfect Thanksgiving or fall party appetizer that everyone will love… even those who hate pumpkin dishes!
These Bacon Goat Cheese Pumpkin Appetizers will soon be your favorite fall party appetizer!

Years ago when I traveled to Sonoma for my birthday trip, I fell in love with goat cheese and apples on toasted bread drizzled with honey. That is what made me think of creating bite sized appetizers instead of just serving this recipe as a dip.
What Crackers are Best for Pumpkin Appetizers?
Serve on toasted bread or crackers, but I really love the Stacy’s Simply Naked Bagel Chips, because they are very hard and it takes a long time for them to get soggy. So these appetizers still taste great after sitting out for 30 minutes or longer. Perfect for parties!
