Since Burger King came out with their Bacon Sundae last week, we've been on a bit of a bacon craze to find some really creative recipes. I'm not a fan of fast food joints (I think my high calorie recipes taste better coming from my own stove), but I am certainly not opposed to putting bacon in my ice cream.

If you're a bacon lover, I'm sure you've added the salty meat to the usual suspects: burgers, mac n cheese and scallops, but would you venture far enough to put bacon in your bourbon? What about in your brownies or doughnuts? I searched the web for some of the most creative recipes I'm sure you haven't tried yet with bacon.

Check out the slide show and let us know if you have any additions to our list!
