Often times when you think of bacon you think of eggs and toast. Many people enjoy eating bacon with their breakfast, I know that I do! However, a lot of people as of late have recently discovered that mixing both bacon and chocolate together, taste great! Just recently I was one of those people who had a chocolate bacon brownie and just loved it. However, there are plenty of other bacon desserts that you can have that taste great and at the same time not have any chocolate at all.
Check out these 10 Incredible Bacon Dessert Recipes

9. Bacon Pumpkin Pie
If you’re tired of having just plain pumpkin pie then you should try adding some bacon on your pumpkin pie. It turns that pumpkin pie into a pumpkin pie that everyone will remember. It’ll also make the pie taste very interesting in a good kind of way. Another option is to add in maple cured bacon instead of just the regular bacon but either one taste good.

7. Bacon Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I don’t know about you but I’ve always loved pineapple upside down cake. One day I walked in from work and was shocked to see that my mom did something different with the pineapple upside down cake. She decided to put bacon on top of the pineapple and when she did that, it turned it into an amazing cake and one of my favorite cakes to have. She said the only problem was that it takes over 2 hours to make so it’s not something that you can do fast.

6. Caramel Popcorn Bacon Mix
If you’re tired of having just plain popcorn and would like to really change the flavor of your popcorn one of the best ways to do so is with simply doing your own caramel popcorn bacon mix. It makes the popcorn taste so very good. A lot of the things that you can add into the mix is optional but my favorite thing to put in it is maple syrup. Bacon and maple syrup with popcorn just taste so great together and its one snack you won’t be able to stop eating.
