From Nick Chipman of DudeFoods, the Deep Fried Bacon-Wrapped Peanut Butter balls are the perfect combination of savory foods. To make your own at home, first spoon some PB into an ice cube tray and freeze, so your get nice hard cubes to work with. Then dip them into flour, egg wash and Panko bread crumbs before wrapping the bites with [bacon strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon) (he used maple bacon) and deep frying.
