Bacon Walnut Cream Cheese Bites — A Thank You to Our Wonderful Guests

Bacon Walnut Cream Cheese Bites — A Thank You to Our Wonderful Guests

What an incredible evening! To everyone who joined us for last night’s event — thank you. Your laughter, curiosity, and love for good food made the shop feel extra special. Nights like that remind us why we do what we do: bringing people together over flavors that spark joy.

As a little thank-you, here’s a recipe inspired by the bites we shared — these Bacon Walnut Cream Cheese Crostini were a crowd favorite, and for good reason. Each crispy toast is layered with whipped cream cheese, a dollop of savory Maple & Herb Bacon Jam, a sprinkle of chopped walnuts, and then finished with a drizzle of our Walnut Oil and Maple Balsamic Vinegar.

They’re sweet, smoky, crunchy, and creamy — the perfect mix of flavors for fall entertaining.

So, whether you were there last night or just joining us here online, this recipe is our way of saying thank you for being part of The Little Shop community.
