Candied Bacon Waffles

Recipe Adapted from Penny Candy Studious

I love the bacon!! I could eat candied bacon all day.

Ingredients

4 cups Bisquick
2 2/3 Milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoon of the cooled bacon grease
9 slices of bacon
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 325. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. I usually cut the bacon in half, just seems easier to me. Put brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then put a slice of bacon - one at a time, make sure bacon is completely coated. After coating the bacon line the Pan with the bacon. Bake for 30-40 minutes, checking frequently. I flipped the bacon over because it wasn't crunchy enough on both sides.

Follow the direction on the Bisquick box. The only change I made was I replaced 2 of the tablespoon of oil with the bacon grease. Let the bacon cool before gently folding it into the waffle batter.
I sprayed the waffled iron with Pam once and use my 1/3 measuring cup to pour the batter.

*** Because I knew I would have extra batter for tomorrow. I decided not to fold the bacon in the batter instead I crumbled 1 piece of bacon on top of each waffle, after pouring it in the waffle iron. I did this because I didn't know how the bacon would hold up in the batter the next day. I will make the bacon fresh tomorrow.
Serve with warm maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar

Smucker's Magic Shell is the BEST!

Freeze the banana's for
1 hour before covering them
with the "Magic Shell."









Magic Shell is my Favorite!
I have bought at least a
100 bottles in the last 3 years.







Spoon all the excess
chocolate on the banana
because you won't want to
WASTE it.







I put the banana's in the
refrigerator for a couple
mintures to get the shell
to harder.
