Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Bites

My favorite food, I must admit, is that which I can eat with my hands.

No forks required, no knives to slow me down-give me finger food and I am good to go! Finger foods make me feel like a kid again, and at the risk of sounding like a kid-they make eating fun (playing with your food for the win).

This recipe calls for my absolute favorite slow cooked pulled pork. My dad gave me this recipe, and I just can’t get enough of it. It’s got a hint of spice without being overpowering-and it finishes with a touch of sweetness from the dark brown sugar.

When the pork is tender and falling apart, you place a spoonful into adorable Athens%20Foods Mini Fillo Dough Shells 15 Per Box (3 Boxes)mini fillo shells. You can find these at Walmart, your local grocery story, or even Athens%20Foods Mini Fillo Dough Shells 15 Per Box (3 Boxes)Amazon! I use them for all sorts of things-everything from breakfast to dessert!
