This is an absolute favorite treat of mine that I’ve enjoyed yearly since I was a kid. The concept is pretty foreign to much of the world, but I guarantee that if you like snow and maple syrup this snack is delicious. And the only calories consumed are the ones in the syrup!

Ingredients
4 cups clean, unadulterated snow (yes, the stuff that falls from the sky, but you can substitute ice shavings à la sno cones if you must)
2 cups maple syrup — choose your favorite grade

Cooking Instructions
Heat maple syrup in a pan on the stove, stirring frequently until it reaches 238° F, so that it becomes a molasses-type consistency. Pour maple syrup directly onto snow.

Serve with dill pickle slices, plain or old fashioned donut holes, and hot coffee to your liking.

Feeds 1, 2, or 4 depending on your sweet tooth.

With a movie like Groundhog Day you’re guaranteed snow every day for the rest of your life!

I recommend the biggest mug you have filled with Starbucks Extra Bold Italian Roast coffee (but don’t tell Popcorn I said so).

Who’s hungry for bacon? Me too!

Bacon is pretty fantastic all by itself, but coat it in sugar and bake it and… bacon candy perfection has just occurred. The sweet and salty of this treat hits every spot.

You’ll find this tastiness on the menu at many restaurants but you, too, can make your own bacon candy. Here’s how:

Ingredients
1 lb bacon (not thick-cut)
1/4 cup brown sugar

Cooking Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Slice bacon into 1/2 inch strips and dredge in brown sugar until thoroughly coated. Crumple aluminum foil to allow for grease drainage and place it on a baking sheet. Lay out the bacon on this making sure not to overlap pieces. Bake until crispy. Allow to cool and harden before serving.

Thanks to AOL food for this yummy recipe. Don’t have brown sugar handy? Try using maple syrup instead. NOM NOM NOM!

I shall be funny and recommend Porky’s — the Ultimate Collection, which truly are excellent adult films, even though there’s nothing sweet about them.
