Has anyone made the chocolate bacon cupcakes? I so need to make them for my boyfriend. He thinks that the food groups are A-B-C... alcohol, bacon and chocolate !
Not that, but I've made chocolate chip bacon cookies, peanut butter bacon cookies, and bacon Frangelico toffee. All very excellent.

I think you'd have to, otherwise the bacon would crack when you tried to weave it (after cooking) and it wouldn't hold together well
Yes, weave before and bake it in the oven.

I was reminded today that I had purchased a Google offer for http://baconery.com that would be expiring soon. Placed my order today for bacon caramels, bacon pecan pie, and an assortment of their bacon cookies and krispie squares. I would not pay full price, but it's nice for a little treat.

I love bacon, but to me it has "jumped the shark". It's time for a new trendy food for everyone to be obsessed with...

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree with you. If one more person sends me a link to bacon toothpaste or bacon lip balm, I'm going to go spare.

The trouble is, there's no other food so versatile, with such universal (well, except for a couple of major religions) acceptance. It's such a perfect combination of salty and sweet, crunchy and chewy, greasy and, well, not so greasy. It makes healthy taste good, and unhealthy taste better. It's part of a pig. You can make it at home. It comes in infinite varieties. There's no better food for the masses to glom onto. Any other trendy food is, by definition, merely a vehicle for the further creative application of bacon.

And that is why bacon is, above all others, the best food in the world. The King of Cuisine. The Admiral of Appetites. The Grand Poobah of Pork Products. Truly, the Alpha and the Omega, and most everything in between.
