Are you a liver fan? If not you will be after trying these Keto Sweet and Spicy Liver Bites!
Think of these little bites as a cross between bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers (minus the jalapeño) and Millionaire's Bacon. You’ve got the heat from a bit of cayenne and paprika and some sweetness from a bit of Swerve.
Those two flavors combined with the savory bacon and the nutritional powerhouse that’s liver and you’ve got one great snack!
