here are three sort of oddball recipes...you could also cover the bacon caramel bar with melted chocolate (so the bacon would be more of a surprise)...
Bacon Caramel
Bacon caramel like a chewy SKOR Bar with bacon. How much more of a comforting flavour combination could there ever be?
To do this, you'll need a couple of things beforehand, namely a pyrex dish or a couple of deep cookie sheets. You'll also need a candy thermometer and a silicone spatula, which is great for keeping the crevices of your saucepan from solidifying.
Start by frying up a good portion of bacon. I used about 300 grams worth, or 3/4 of a package. Cook as much as you can to be nice and crispy, without burning anything, which can be done over medium low heat.
Once the bacon's finished cooking, blot it well and remove any stubborn fatty bits that refuse to become crispy. Then trim it down into large-ish bacon bits that'd work nicely in a Caesar salad. Reserve in paper towel to promote further fat drainage.
Add to a deep saucepan the following:
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
3-4 oz bourbon or maple syrup.
Over low to medium heat, dissolve everything while stirring constantly. Get your candy thermometer ready and then turn up the heat until reaches 240°F. Don't forget to keep stirring!
At that point, you'll be at the firm-ball stage and things should look a lot like this: (pic on website below)
Remove your pot from heat and then slowly stir in another 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
Then, put the pot back on the stove and heat it back up to 245°F while stirring still. Then, pour the mixture into a buttered Pyrex dish or deep cookie sheet.
Immediately afterward, add the bacon. Be sure to make it an even application!
And hey! I had some toasted almonds left over from dinner the night before, so I added those as well.
Then, let everything cool for at least 3 hours before cutting the bacon caramel into squares.
Serve it up to those without pancreatic issues and watch their eyes light up before they they begin to bounce off the walls!

Mulberry Fudge
A nice change from time to time from the usual chocolate fudge (that most of us do love!)
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups ripe mulberries (to make 2/3 cup Mulberry juice)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Cook 1-1/2 cups of ripe mulberries [unripe fruit is toxic], mash and drain through a fine sieve or jelly bag to obtain the juice: about 2/3 cup yield.
Mix juice with sugar and butter and cook over low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil on medium and boil without stirring until soft-ball candy stage -- 240 degrees.
Remove from heat; cool until lukewarm and beat with a wooden spoon until mixture looses its gloss.
Press into a buttered pan and cut into squares before the candy hardens.
Keep in a tightly covered dish or freeze because this candy hardens when exposed to the air.
Note: You can use this recipe for any low pectin fruit eg. Saskatoons, blueberry, elderberry, raspberry, blackberry or May-apple.

Get some chunks of pineapple, chunks of mango, slice banana pieces then freeze them overnight. At the same time get you favorite yogurt and freeze that too.
In the morning cut the yogurt up into pieces and put all of this into a blender after you have placed 1 cup of milk in. BLEND
There you have invented instant Smoothies.
take your frozen product to school and show them how that tastes after refining the amount of each fruit to use .

My friend used to always joke about how he wanted someone to invent "bacon gum". All the flavor of bacon with none of the artery clogging, waist expanding side effects.
