But just revisiting a recipe wasn't exciting enough. I thought it would be really fun to put a new spin on an old favourite. So what can you do to a peanut butter ball, I wondered... Add BACON of course!!!
In theory - great idea. In reality - kind of a fail.
I made the peanut butter ball filling as per usual and then added 6 strips of crumbled bacon. I thought for sure the bacon flavour would add that nice smoky, salty layer to the peanut butter... Um, no! The bacon got totally lost in the peanut butter and all I was left with were peanut butter balls with added calories :(
Even though the recipe didn't work out the way I had hoped, I am still very happy that Sweet Treats has been around for three whole years and look forward to future blog birthdays. And I am very thankful for all the readers across the world who take the time to stop by Sweet Treats every now and again. Keep it coming - I will have new treats soon, I promise... Strawberry rhubarb jam anyone??? Stay tuned!
Speaking of birthdays, I have one coming up very soon and can't decide what kind of sweet treat to celebrate with. Suggestions?
oh no! that WAS a great idea, too bad you couldn't really taste it :( happy blog birthday :)
ReplyDeleteYou learn from failures - trust me I've had enough of them. Maybe bigger bacon pieces and a drop or two of what they call that Liquid Smoke? Never tried the stuff myself.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all time favorites is a peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich on toast. There was a restaurant that actually sold them here years ago. They were good! Belated Happy Blog Birthday!
