Bacon Candy and Bacon Desserts Recipes

Bacon is the new candy
Lately it seems all the rage to add bacon to various dessert items that you'd never really think would taste better with bacon.
Sure, scallops taste better with bacon, and asparagus tastes better with bacon, and burgers taste better with bacon. But does chocolate or ice cream or pumpkin pie really taste better with bacon? You bet!
Here's a round-up of some of the best Bacon sweets and dessert recipes online. Hate to cook? There's also some delicious bacon flavored candies and desserts that you can buy. How about chocolate with bacon in it? Oh yeah!

If you're feeling adventurous, or if you know of a bacon obsessed nerd who might appreciate these cookies, you should definitely make them. I have not made these yet, but a friend of mine has and she said they were delicious. I totally believe her! - Maple Bacon Cupcakes with Maple Frosting
The brown sugar and maple syrup make the cupcakes sweet while the minced bacon salts it. The maple frosting is then sprinkled with turbinado sugar and sea salt. The cake is light, salty, sweet, and just... well, different. - Bacon Unwrapped: Bacon Pumpkin Pie
I think these are two great tastes that go togehter -- bacon and pumpkin. It works for me!
