KQ partner Chef Philip came up with this new creation. He slathered puff pastry with Bang Bang Sauce, then added crispy bacon, diced onions and jalapeno peppers, along with grated pepper jack cheese. These beauties baked up golden brown and very flaky.

The Bacon Bang Bang Pinwheels were a big hit at the preliminary taste test and all of the samples were gobbled up in no time.
