There isn't any chocolate in these truffles, but they sure could function as a luscious dessert. The salty and tangy flavors of roasted red peppers and thick-cut bacon swirl in creamy goat cheese, and the whole thing is topped with festive, chopped pistachios. Party, anyone?

I made truffles with cheese.

Okay, whatever. Not REAL truffles. Not like the smoked blue cheese truffle I ate in Oregon this past summer (OMG.). Not like a truffle with goat cheese and chocolate (though that may be forthcoming.). I know. You don’t need to tell me.

I made a little truffle made with some of the best flavors ever. Bacon, roasted red peppers, garlic… you know, stuff like that.
