Is the bacon as a dessert hype all that people say it is? (Link to cookie and fudge recipes)

[tess]

I haven't tried any myself, but there have been postings galore. There are a few people at work who LOVE LOVE LOVE bacon. So - I found these recipes from NPR (did I find the link from here? I don't remember).

Anyway - I thought I'd make the cookies and fudge to give them for the holidays. What do you think?

Thanks,

Tess

i think that if i'm gonna blow my day's allowance of fat at dessert time,...

i,d rather do it with chocolate.

Bacon cake... doesn't sound too good to me. Although one time I added cooked

bacon to corn muffins, and they were pretty good as a breakfast item. I always wondered why they didn't require refrigeration though (?).

Personally, I'm kind of over it (except for Maple Bars with Bacon). Unless the bacon is really lean

and perfectly cooked, you end up with an extremely greasy end product. If you cook the bacon too much, you may as well just use salted butter. Still, the chocolate-bacon bar with creme anglaise at "Animal" was seriously fit t'eat.
