Oh yeah... REAL bacon!!
Another original and unusual offering from the CrunchDaddy kitchen! The caramel for "Maple & Bacon Crunch" is made from pure MAPLE syrup, not pancake syrup! A full 1/2 pound of bacon (pre-cooked weight) goes into each gallon of this decadent treat! It's sweet, salty, crunchy and meaty all at the same time!! A bacon-lover's delight!
Ingredients: popcorn, sugar, bacon, butter, pure maple syrup, corn syrup, vanilla, sodium bicarbonate, salt, tartaric acid

OH MY GOODNESS... Just tried a smidge of the Maple Bacon and it is to DIE for! We raise Red Wattle Hogs... How about I send you a pig and you keep me supplied in popcorn?

Crunchdaddy, when are you gonna change your name to Crackdaddy? Because this stuff is ADDICTIVE. My boyfriend and I inhaled it this morning and were only left wanting more. The maple and bacon in it count as a well-rounded breakfast, right?. Right. Goes great with coffee too!

When I first heard "bacon" associated with popcorn, It sounded like nirvana! Then the professional cook in me began to dissect and analyze. How could you marry greasy pork with fluffy popcorn without it being mushy? Wouldn't it leave that unctuous film on the roof of your mouth? Would you not have to add so much sugar to counteract the natural saltiness of the bacon? And then there would be Maple,too? Surely this would be a fatty, sticky mess, a la some canned popcorn bought at "gourmet" shops. Imagine my joy as the first handful was tasted! Light, airy, perfect ratio of salt to sweet, and no mess, on your hands or palate! This recipe is a home run and should be world famous in the same vein as Cracker Jack-only fresher and better. Best popcorn ever, bar none!!!

Having been a professional chef off and on for about 30 years, I know good, properly prepared food. This stuff is amazing. The texture is light and crisp, the popcorn is substantial, and the flavors are deep and rich and uncloying. I couldn't stop eating this. The finish was always clean, the flavors always bright, just amazing. This is the gold standard. Unbelievably good.
