Chocolate covered bacon is like sex.
Yup… Chocolate covered bacon is like sex.
(Maybe better, depending on the skill level of those involved.)
They fry everything in Texas: all fish, pickles, bacon, candy bars, mallow pies, strawberry shortcake, cheesecake, oreos, twinkies, s’mores, etc.
Y’all know I love a good festival. Since attending some of Texas’ festivals, fairs, and rodeos I’ve had some of THE BEST fried desserts ever. Fried cheesecake and fried oreos topped the list.
That is, until yesterday at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
I could tell you about the darling peeps (baby chicks).
Or the absolutely hilarious Mutton Bustin’ (where you put your 5 or 6 year on a sheep and they try to hang on for 6 seconds. Watch Mutton Bustin videos – you’ll pee your pants laughing).
But even those don’t top what I had for dessert. Because so many of you touted its awesomeness, I had a fried twinkie. I also had fried s’mores. While both were good, fried cheesecake and fried oreos still topped the list.
Until I found the chocolate covered bacon. It was all I imagined and more.
Last week, when I was phoning it in wrote about chocolate covered bacon, I had NO IDEA I’d be eating some within a week. Ask and ye shall receive!
I’m going to have to start smoking again after eating that. It’s been a while, but the pleasure of eating chocolate covered bacon compares to what I remember of sex.
Chocolate covered bacon? A dream come true at last!
Oh Jo, you have no idea! It’s worth making at home just to try it! That was milk-chocolate covered. I’m going to try to make dark chocolate with thick bacon next weekend.
I got a couple of pieces of chocolate covered bacon for my birthday last fall. It made the birthday cake seem like a frosted cow patty.
Hey, they weren’t deep-frying those peeps, were they?
Are you using “pieces of chocolate covered bacon” as a euphemism? ๐
No! The peeps were the real live kind! No deep frying fluffy peeps!
