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!
