When it comes to Valentine’s, it doesn’t have to be all candy hearts and chocolates, roses and candlelit dinners. Sometimes, it can be some skewed and baked meat. Yes, for many – meat is their love language. Whether you want to serve this up as a breakfast-in-bed item, a dinner appy, or even at v-day (or alternatively single-awareness-day) party they’re the perfect way to bring the bacon home to your loves. So, here’s the story… a little while ago we discovered that mini cocktail wieners (aka “weenies” – the debate is still on over the correct terminology for these) when cut in half and on an angle, then turned upwards on one side, it created a heart. So, take that idea, toss a “bow and arrow” style bamboo skewer, and wrap it in bacon along with some crazy good candying drizzle before baking. They’re THAT easy! The “don’t go bacon my heart” recipe we’d been craving…and guess what? They turned out (my son tells me they’re pretty awesome, and he’s my go-to meat critic) but lets be real, who doesn’t love bacon? So really, you can’t go wrong here. All the Valentine’s points to win yourself here!
