20+ Desserts with Bacon

Bacon in desserts is one of those things that can either be so perfectly balanced – hitting that delicious spot where sweet and savoury make beautiful music together – or it can be downright nasty. There is rarely any grace in-between for desserts that don’t quite get it right.

These 20+ Bacon Dessert recipes come highly recommended – with awesome Pinterest and blog post comments or Google rankings that speak to highly satisfied makers and bakers. Let me know if you try any of these!

I have a serious salty-sweet tooth – I finally felt like a normal person when chocolate-covered pretzels went mainstream.

However, savoury-salty-sweet is a combination that I’m hit or miss with but after having some amazing bacon peanut brittle, I truly believe that bacon belongs in dessert! (Not to mention I always dip mine in maple syrup… don’t judge it, try it.)
