My husband collects weird things like refrigerators and bacon, so I might have to try this. Reminds me of a recipe for Beef Fudge that was included in the book "My Year of Meats." I *think* it was tongue-in cheek in the context of the book, but I'm still interested in makingit someday. Mon Dec 10 10:43:09 -0800 2007 3195201 49179 jennywinker 1 3195962 Well, I've heard of chocolate with bacon in it and didn't think this would be too weird until I saw the cookie with the piece of bacon topping it. My mind raced back and forth between mmm and eeew ... not knowing where to settle. Some of the bacon sweets mentioned in the comments were ... interesting - bacon chocolate sorbet - bacon cake - bacon rice crispie treats - bacon hot chocolate - bacon baklava - banana bacon dumplings... the filling was like a sweet custard with bacon in it. - Cur a Krispy Kreme glazed ddonut in half and add warm ham, melted cheddar and bacon. I've been into making my own jello and I am both attracted and repulsed by the thought of trying to make bacon jello ... hmmm ... maybe maple syrup jello with bacon bits. Mon Dec 10 13:20:39 -0800 2007 3195201 10264 rworange 2 3201599 I don't want bacon in my hot chocolate (chunky hot chocolate?); although I like chocolate and bacon, bacon in chocolate sorbet doesn't sound appetizing (although maple ice cream with bacon does, go figure); I hate bananas with anything, but I'd probably like the dumplings with a different flavor (apple bacon dumplings sound yummy); and I'm not sure about bacon cake (would depend on the cake); but the others sound pretty good. I made a gingersnap recipe that had bacon fat as the shortening and it was delicious.

Mon Dec 10 19:34:26 -0800 2007 3195201 118582 maisonbistro 2 3198672 I've tried that Vosges chocolate and I have to say...it wasn't bacon-y enough! ~TDQ Tue Dec 11 11:04:21 -0800 2007 3197049 12005 The Dairy Queen 1 3197382 After how much I loved the bacon brittle that I made last holiday season (loved, oh so so much), I'm very intrigued by this recipe... Mon Dec 10 22:40:43 -0800 2007 3195201 13525 JasmineG 2 3197403 Oh please tell me you've posted that recipe on the Home Cooking board! If you haven't yet, please share! I would love to make bacon brittle! (: Mon Dec 10 23:06:34 -0800 2007 3197382 93480 chocolateninja 3 3197856 There was a long thread full of deliciousness last year at this time on the Home Cooking board: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/348661 I had had that recipe in a cookbook for a while, and that thread made me finally make it, and oh how wonderful it was. Tue Dec 11 07:07:57 -0800 2007 3197403 13525 JasmineG 1 3197391 I'm scared,too. cookies are good. bacon is good. why do you have to eat at same time ? comeing up new idea is great. but I don't personally think this is a great idea... maybe not so nasty taste, but It's just not makes me want to eat or try making it. Mon Dec 10 22:55:00 -0800 2007 3195201 143837 ymushi 2 3198528 I agree. Two very dissimilar flavors, but each very strong, fighting it out in my mouth is not how I want to experience them. It is very gimmicky, and that never interests me in terms of enjoying a meal, or appreciating a cook's creative efforts. All of that having been said, that blog is kind of an interesting diversion. Tue Dec 11 10:24:23 -0800 2007 3197391 10059 ChinoWayne 3 3198646 Two dissimilar flavors? Bacon and maple syrup is yum, so why not bacony goodness with your chocolate chips? Must be the sweet-salt-fat trifecta. Tue Dec 11 10:56:07 -0800 2007 3198528 49179 jennywinker 4 3198839 Bacon and maple syrup are complimentary, however to me, bacon and chocolate are a crash and burn scenario. To each his own. I do find the pictures titilating though. Tue Dec 11 11:57:30 -0800 2007 3198646 10059 ChinoWayne 5 3199308 I think the maple cinnamon glaze might be the key. But heck, I guess I'd try chocolate-dipped bacon if I had the chance. Tue Dec 11 14:10:45 -0800 2007 3198839 49179 jennywinker 1 3198740 I saw these on that blog! They were definitely....interesting... If i ate bacon, maybe I'd try them! Tue Dec 11 11:28:15 -0800 2007 3195201 112406 Chew on That 2 3200694 Sweet and Salty!
