While it may seem like an odd combination, this allrecipes.com ‘dessert’ is sure to be a hit for those with taste buds that don’t mind “stepping outside the box.” You may not be able to give this one a pet name, like the Bacon Turtle Sausage Burger, but it’s certainly a new way of using bacon that will give your family a new appreciation for bacon, and you won’t even need to buy a terrarium.
