Today I finally made it to The Swinery, where I got enough bacon based products to easily carry me through the rest of B "Week". I also, unexpectedly, encountered Bacon Caramels:
Me: "Wow. And I'm gonna have to add on two of the caramels, there, on principle alone."
The Clerk: "Oh yeah. We were giving them out free on Hallowe'en and so many people asked if we sold them that we decided we should."
At 50 cents a pop they are perhaps a tad pricey (though not skimpy by any means, size-wise), but totally worth it. The caramel is rich and buttery, the bacon is smokey and flavorful and the two blend together like Torvill and Dean.
They are so good, I have no pictures of them. Go get your own. :-p
I have a single pound of Swinery bacon left from last year when they were unloading 1000lbs right before Christmas - I've cherished every last bite of it. So glad to hear about the caramels - I'll have to swing over there and try them!
ReplyDeleteI think my friends were talking about The Great Bacon Unloading just th'other night. Unlike you they waited too long and missed out.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, the caramel is well worth a field trip. I have my fingers crossed for gift packs of it around the hols; it would take care of so many people on my list.
