i LOVE a good ole candied bacon (check out my waffle cone, coffee, & autumnal versions!), but this mexican mole version might just take the cake. 🥓🍫🌶️✨

i mean, who would’ve thought cacao + bacon could be SO darn delicious?!

sweet. smoky. spicy. crunchy. & absolutely unreal. 💥

add it to brunch boards, crumble it over salads, pair it with your favorite breakfast, or snack on it straight off the cooling rack. ✨
