I bet I caught your eye with these bacon wrapped presents! If I didn’t you might be vegan and so please, this is X-rated friend, carry on but come back next week I have a vegan recipe in the works. Bacon is an all time favorite but should be eaten in moderation and ALWAYS buy it nitrate-free and organic if you can!
I love anything wrapped in bacon but scallops are my new favorite because it adds a whole new level of taste to these delicate but tender mollusks! I should clarify I love bacon but I have to admit I never quite understood my foodie friends who post bacon covered cherries or bacon brownies.
That is until I visited St. Augustine, Florida and we stopped in this old fashion ice cream parlor and they had salted bacon fudge!! I cringed as my friend ordered her bacon fudge {this reminds me of lobster ice cream YUCK} and I continued to try and enjoy my coconut ice cream that I shared with my daughter.
Then the unexpected happened…..my friend had a love affair with her fudge filled with bacon . I was curious as I watched her face and decided to be brave and ask for a bite. I wish I took a bigger bite is all I have to say!
Even as I write this, my mind is all confused at this uncommon compatible duo but I am literally salivating remembering how out of this world good it really was!! I see a healthy version of bacon filled fudge in my future……what a conundrum that whole “healthy version” might just be. Oh and by the way, I did try the lobster ice cream in Maine and trust me on this one, there is no love affair to be had with that one!
Aren’t these so cute wrapped up in their little bacon coats! I want to eat some now too!
