fascinating, fearful mystery

Concept:

Wrap slice of bacon around toothpick, microwave to crispiness, drain of fat, allow to cool.

Remove toothpick from crispy bacon spiral.

Dip spiral in butter/maple syrup combination.

Let sit, so that syrup and butter penetrate spiral's interior.

Dip whole mess in fine chocolate to create truffle.

Before chocolate hardens completely, roll spiral in mixture of bacon and bread crumbs, or just coat top of truffle this way.

Let sit. Depending on chocolate, chill if necessary for hardening.

Break out and eat.
