Bacon. Just hearing the word makes my heart sing. Smelling it cooking in the air? I’m like a kid in a bouncy house! I’m crazy for bacon, y’all! And nowadays it seems the passion for bacon has spread to just about every dish and recipe on the planet. You’ll find it flavoring up Uncle Jimmy’s bourbon, giving cousin Wilma’s jam a kick, and even tenderly hugging Grandma’s fresh asparagus in neat little wraps. EVERYWHERE. That’s where bacon can be found.
It’s also made its way into these crazy recipes including my very own Bacon Fudge. Enjoy!
Bacon Fudge (So Easy!)
Ingredients
- 1 container milk chocolate ready-made frosting
- 1 12 ounce bag of milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vanilla (or maple) extract
- 5 slices thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Line an 8″x8″ baking pan with foil, leaving a half inch or so hanging over the edge. Set aside.
- Place milk chocolate chips in a heat resistant bowl and set aside. Place the container of frosting in the microwave and heat for 20 to 30 seconds (until it is hot and completely melted). Pour the melted frosting over the chocolate. Allow chocolate to melt. Stir until all chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in extract and bacon. Pour into foil lined pan.
- Place in the refrigerator to set and then cut into one-inch squares.
- Makes about 55 pieces of very awesome fudge!
