What makes you choose Coke over Pepsi or vice versa? Is your favorite fast food burger from McDonalds or Burger King. These products are essentially the same but it is the subtle differences that make the difference in our choices.
Today I went under the assumption that if you add bacon to something it makes that something better. Add Bacon to Lettuce and Tomato and you have the simply fantastic BLT! Without the bacon you get two veggies on soggy toast. About a week ago Allison made some Chocolate Chip Cookies and I was feeling experimental so I spread a layer of JIF Chunky Peanut Butter on the cookie, it was delicious. At that point I had an epiphany.
If Peanut Butter is delicious…
And so are Chocolate Chip Cookies…
And we know that Bacon makes everything better then…
If I spread some Peanut Butter on a Chocolate Chip Cookie…
And then add some delicious bacon…
I will create the ultimate in cookie/bacon fusion… The Choco-Nutty-Bacontastic Cookie!
Now this cookie was very tasty but it could certainly be better. The cookie itself was from the Relay for Life yesterday and it was not that fresh. The peanut butter was not JIF Chunky (my all time favorite) so that is a let down. The bacon was good, nice and crispy but I think it could have been better if it was a little thicker, sort of like the bacon you get at Cracker Barrel. So, for a future experiment I think I’ll make sure I make a fresh batch of Chocolate Chip cookies using the Tollhouse recipe with extra brown sugar (makes them chewier), a big bit of JIF Chunky Peanut Butter and some well cooked thick cut bacon.
