Bacon Thing of the Day: Baconpops!

When I was in San Francisco for Barmitzvahpalooza back in February, we dined one evening at restaurant where they served a dessert topped with something called Bacon Brittle.

According to the site, “Each pop is handmade with Vermont maple and honest to goodness real, Organic Thick Cut Hearty Bacon. We make each batch to order, because when it comes to Bacon, there’s a certain amount of awe and reverence one must include when creating a confection worthy of Bacon lovers worldwide. Baconpops aren’t mass-produced, they’re made by Bacon enthusiasts!” Sounds good to me! Baconpops can be ordered in bulk directly from the website, or individually from Lollyphile at This Link.
