You can find bacon in over a thousand recipes, from your grandmother’s homemade Split Pea Soup to Smoked Macaroni & Cheese. They’re all delicious. But after many weeks of searching for baking inspiration I came to the conclusion that there just aren’t enough desserts featuring this decadent ingredient. By now you should know that based on my other recipes I have an infatuation with anything sweet and salty. My latest creation, Maple Bacon Toffee Bark, combines crisp salty bacon, sweet toffee, and rich caramel. Add a hint of sea salt and your taste buds will be sent in overload with the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory.
