8 slices bacon, cut in half
16 miniature candy bars (see note)
Partially cook bacon and press between paper towels to remove excess grease.
Freeze candy bars until solid.
Wrap each candy bar in a bacon piece and place on broiler pan. Broil until bacon is crisp and candy is soft (but not overly melted).
NOTE: Milky Way and Butterfinger candy bars are a good choice.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Our first attempt we didn't partially cook the bacon first, so the candy bars did melt more than we wanted them too. They were still darn tasty though! Freeze the candy bars and partially cook the bacon and you'll have a decadent treat.
I thought this website was for real...are you kidding me?
Don't knock it until you've tried it! This recipe was part of our Great Bacon Experiment hosted at CDKitchen and it was a huge hit.
