Candy Bacon Popcorn

This Candy Popcorn Snack Fuses Bacon, Bourbon and Caramel

— October 20, 2015 — Lifestyle
Smooth bourbon whiskey, smoky bacon and sweet caramel come together in this candy popcorn treat from Liddabit Sweets. While bourbon and bacon are a tried-and-true pairing, caramel helps to round out the flavors of the brand's Bourbon Bacon Caramel Corn.

The booze-infused snack is loaded with bacon bits and serves as a snack that's satisfyingly salty, sweet and crunchy. The indulgent ingredient list leads Liddabit Sweets to suggest this as a snack with a pre-dinner cocktail, or one to dig into when relaxing at home on the couch.

Liddabit Sweets is no stranger to experimenting with caramel as an ingredient, as it has produced a number of caramel treats that capture unusual flavors like beer and pretzels, ginger beer, as well as fig and ricotta.
