You can have your salt and sweet it too.</p> <p>This snack not only fulfills your cravings, it gives your body something substantial to work with while you&rsquo;re doing your homework or getting ready for gymnastics practice. If you&rsquo;re going to make one or two of these little bites for yourself, you might as well make a whole batch because once that bacon smell is in the house everybody will come looking for the source.</p> <p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p> <p>10 slices of bacon, cut in half cross-wise to yield 20 pieces<br /> 20 cubes of pineapple, either fresh or from a can (If you use canned pineapple, make sure it&rsquo;s unsweetened.)<br /> If you don't have pineapple, or you're in the mood for <em>really</em> sweet, substitute 20 dried dates for the pineapple.</p> <p><strong>To Prepare</strong></p> <p>Preheat oven to 450 degrees.</p> <p>Wrap a half slice of bacon around each cube of fruit, tucking the ends of the bacon underneath the fruit.</p> <p>Arrange the wrapped fruit bacon-ends-down on an aluminum-foil-covered baking sheet that has raised edges.</p> <p>Bake for about 7 minutes, then take out the sheet and turn over the little bacon bites and return to the oven.
