Great recipe idea! I want to make some ahead of time to bring to camp. What's the best way to reheat the frozen bites? Thank you!

I normally heat them in the air fryer. But I would heat them in the oven after thawing. However, if you are camping without an oven or air fryer, thaw first and then wrap in aluminum foil and heat over the campfire on an indirect flame or grill.
