Chocolate Covered Bacon Dulce de Leche Rum Shake
Did you read the title? That’s a lot of words. But how do you leave any of them out?
A Rum Shake. But not as thick as a milkshake, just…creamy. Smooth. Rich and delicious. Vanilla ice cream blended with Captain Morgan’s White Rum, sweet Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup, creamy dulce de leche…and bacon.
Yep…bacon.
You see, I was challenged by none other than The Captain to celebrate National Rum Day (August 16th!) with a concoction using some wild ingredients. Licorice, potato chips, BBQ sauce, chocolate, bacon, pistachios…crazy, right? So, being the bacon loving fiend I am, I went that route.
Tasty route, I tell you. Bacon and Chocolate.
The bacon is only barely noticeable, save for the chocolate covered specimen I used as a garnish with a fun piece of chocolate bubblewrap, but it does add a neat flavor and a hint of salt in all that sweetness. I was very pleased with the results…and I declare it a hit.
Just ask me.
It’s a hit.
Hopefully it’s a big enough winner to win over The Captain’s lackeys, as they are judging me, probably right this minute. Yep…judging. I can take it. I know I’ve got the goods.
Wish me luck!
And in the meantime, give this boozy concoction a shot and let me know what you think! (and yeah, I totally made that chocolate bubblewrap. Wanna know how? Ask!)
