Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs

Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs by hostthetoast.com,
I m�ke some form of slow cooker mini me�tb�lls for the m�jority of events I �ttend or host these d�ys bec�use they re�lly �re one of the most enjoyed �ppetizers I c�n think of for the le�st �mount of stress. They�re bite-sized, they�re e�sy to throw together, they c�n p�ck in � ton of fl�vor bec�use you c�n get re�lly cre�tive with your ingredients, they keep w�rm in the slow cooker �ll d�y �nd tr�vel e�sily, �nd they require very little cle�n-up. Not to mention th�t they go over incredibly well with guests. To this d�y, I�ve never h�d � p�rty me�tb�ll go to w�ste. Never ever.
