Bacon Maple Bar

This is the story on my experiment with maple donut bars with bacon.

I had been watching the Travel Channel and caught a story at Voodoo Donuts in Portland. I thought about the concoction and figured it would be worth a try to check it out. Think about it. We have had bacon with pancakes and syrup so the combo should work, right? One of my favorite donuts (when I am being bad eating not so healthy food) is a custard filled maple bar anyway.

I decided to tweak it a bit differently. Instead of placing bacon strips on top of the maple bar, I thought I would cut a slit into the donut and place the strips inside sandwich-like. Verdict - not bad but needs work. I bought the maple bar from a local grocery store instead of going to the local donut shop. I was expecting the chewiness I usually get from the donuts at the donut shop. The grocery store bar was a bit more cakey than I would like. But not bad.

Food is so fun. You do know by now that I like to eat, right?
