Bacon Candy?
As a child, my favourite meal was pancakes and bacon. In fact, I could take or leave the pancakes – it was the bacon smothered in maple syrup that I adored. Once, every so often, my father would make us breakfast for supper – we were the happiest kids on the block!

Here are a few recipes that will have your guests (and family) begging for more.
Hint – chicken and turkey bacon don’t work…trust me, I tried!
