Sriracha Bacon Bark
Sweet, salty, spicy, crunchy, chocolatey, smokey. Sriracha Bacon Bark hits them all. This is my second post for Choctoberfest and I wanted to GO BIG on flavor. And really step outside my normal recipe mindset of quick, easy, frugal, recipes for a busy mom. It isn’t extraordinarily hard to make it just involves a few steps. But it is so incredibly worth it, Sriracha Bacon Bark, make it!
Sriracha Bacon
On Sunday I brought you Sriracha Bacon and said I had a spicy sweet treat for Tuesday. This Sriracha Bacon Bark is it! Choctoberfest is so much fun isn’t it? I mean when else do you find fun things like Sriracha Bacon Bark. Seriously though you can make this for friends, a potluck or a gift and it kind of stops people in their tracks. I love to bring a showstopper, don’t you? Friends are usually intrigued and also a little scared. Be sure to let them know it isn’t that spicy, just enough heat to make it tasty. And encourage them to try it.
