PB + Chocolate + Bacon

Yup.  Hidden ingredient.  I die.

I take no credit.  I give props.  And photos.  So you’ll die too.

Head on over to How Sweet It Is and share in my joy at Jessica’s brainchild of a cookie. 

Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Candied Bacon

First you start with her Cinnamon Sugared Bacon.  WHAT?  Yup.

Make extra so you can eat it.  If you only make enough for the cookie recipe you’ll just have to make more, so save yourself the hassle.

When you finally have four cooled pieces you can melt the chocolate for step two.

Too much chocolate?  Ha!  No such thing.  Just keep dipping & drizzling.

Go out with a friend while the chocolate covered bacon cools and hardens.  If you stay home, it will never happen.  Nom.

For step three get out the oh-so-unnatural sugary peanut butter.

Let cool.  Dive in.  Soft, crumbly deliciousness.  Melt in your mouth peanut buttery, chocolately, savoury yumminess.  (No overwhelming bacon, just extra salty tastiness…a little je ne sais quoi.)

Save some for your friends.  These are the kind of cookies that will earn return favours and treats.  I die.  You die.  They die.

Then everyone comes back to life for more cookies.

You can do it.  I promise.
