Bakin’ With Bacon and King Teddy

Happy Saturday and welcome to the Castle Baconia kitchen!

Yes indeed another week has gone by and it’s time for me to whip up something delish in the kitchen and share the recipe with you fans of bacon.   It’s my mission to give you every possibility to include bacon in your diet.   Breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack – I’m on the hunt for recipes to share!

This one is just BEYOND yummy……………………..WAY beyond.

Maple Bacon Magic Bars

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats

1/2 tsp maple extract (optional, but recommended)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
1/2 cup diced bacon bits
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, oats and salt. Stir in maple extract and melted butter. Pour into prepared pan and press into an even layer, using your fingertips or a spatula.
Sprinkle chocolate chips in a layer on the graham layer. Sprinkle pecans in a layer on the chocolate chips. Sprinkle coconut in an even layer on top of the pecans, then sprinkle bacon on in an even layer on top of the coconut.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and maple syrup, and pour that mixture over everything.
