I made chocolate covered bacon the other day, and it was good. But a few days in the fridge caused it to lose a bit of its crunchiness, and it lacked Bacon Salt. The answer is to shake a bit of Bacon Salt into a can of fried potato sticks and then cover small piles of them with melted chocolate! It’s awesome. Go make some. Yes, I mean NOW!
2/3 cup chopped roasted peanuts
1 (12 ounce) box of Nilla Vanilla Wafers, (about 3 1/4 cups crushed)
1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup orange juice
1-2 TBsp Bacon Salt (Original)
2/3 cup semisweet-chocolate chips
Reserve 2 tablespoons peanuts.
Combine Nilla Wafer crumbs, Bacon Salt, dates and remaining nuts.
Stir together honey and orange juice; blend in crumb/nut mixture. Shape into balls, using 1 tablespoon mixture for each.
Melt chocolate chips over low heat; dip tops of balls into chocolate; sprinkle with reserved nuts. Sprinkle a bit more Bacon Salt on top!
Makes 4 dozen
Yes, I’ve been neglecting the blog for a bit, but I still put Bacon Salt on everything. I’m expecting to see the new flavors for Christmas!
I’ve just been reading so much about bacon and chocolate that I finally had to do it myself and prove to others that it is tasty.
Last night, I fried some bacon until crispy, chopped them extremely fine and then poured melted Giradelli chocolate over the bacon pile. A short stay in the freezer sped things up and then it was time for a taste of heaven.
I loved it. I want it on ice cream. My grandmother had a little piece, wasn’t disappointed, but didn’t grow wings and fly around the room as I had done.
With Bacon Salt, it might have almost the same flavor, but would lack the crunch. I just have to try it with Bacon Salt now! I bet peppered will be perfect for chocolate.
My grandmother adds chicken and sausage and ham and everything else to 15 bean soup. It’s amzing! I’ve done it with just sausage or just ham, but never all at once! A touch of Peppered Bacon Salt takes it to the next level! It’s 104 degrees outside and we’re eating hot soup! With Bacon Salt, anything is possible.
My grandmother roasted a large pan of mixed veggies. Turnips just aren’t that tasty, so I sprinkled Bacon Salt (original) on everything and now I’ll be eating a LOT more turnips! I just can’t describe in words what it does to the flavor! Carrots and potatoes and sprouts are also just as amzing with Bacon Salt, but turnips…damn!
Everyone knows how to make them! But will Bacon Salt make them better?
Me: YES! The sweet and the salty combination is perfect. Tested and approved with Original and Hickory.
The Wife: It tastes good but I wouldn’t do it every time I make them.
Been spending too much time in photoshop today…
Yes, that cake has bacon on it.
What I want more than anything in the world is Bacon Pop Rocks. The way to do it would be to make some more Bacon Salt rock candy, break it all off the string, and add unflavored pop rocks! It would be awesome!

We used the basic cookie recipe on the back of a package of Toll House chocolate chips. We made the first batch as instructed and then added Bacon Salt as they were cooling. Very good. My cousin Nick kept getting more hickory Bacon Salt and ate it out of his hand after each bite of the cookie.
We had leftover dough so we added a teaspoon of hickory Bacon Salt to the batter and made six more cookies. They sure did smell good! But, they still didn’t have a super bacon flavor so we used Original Bacon Salt to dip each bite in for added flavor.
The way to go would be to use no salt in the recipe, but add 2 tablespoons of Bacon Salt to the batter during the mixing of the sugar, butter and eggs. You have to taste it at the early stage to see how much Bacon Salt you’re going to need.
We were going to have a few strips of chocolate covered bacon afterward to celebrate the goodness of the cookies, but my wife burnt the bacon! 
Maybe next time!
