This Maple Bacon Monkey Bread is a salty sweet twist on classic monkey bread with a whole pound of bacon in it.

I’m not totally sure how it started but someone suggested I run for President.

I said no thanks that I had too many skeletons and it wasn’t a very fun job anyway.

Then someone else piped up that I should just run for Congress then, as they are allowed to have skeletons. 🙂

We had some lovely slogans all centered around my joke that I stay larger so people can see me better. 😛

We had things like “there’s more of me to love thanks to bacon” and “vote for Peabody I have more cushin’ for pushin’”.

That last one coming from my bff in California who hates overly skinny women. 🙂

To ensure I keep up with my figure to run for Congress I best figure out how to eat more bacon in my everyday life.

We were discussing on my Facebook page how restaurants and recipes don’t call for enough bacon.

You will notice this Maple Bacon Monkey Bread recipe calls for a pound of bacon.

You can use more or less but I didn’t want to skimp after we just had a discussion about it.

These are a diet killer in every way possible.

In the words of people I was sharing this with “why can’t I stop eating this?”.

The answer is because I’m evil.

And a genius.

And an evil genius.

Moderation doesn’t really exist with these unless you eat this with a lot of people.

Then it becomes a death match to get the last pieces.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

  2. WOW! IMHO, everything is better with bacon; but I wouldn’t have thought to incorporate it into sweet monkey bread… yikes… I could eat the entire loaf!

    I’m a “die hard” bacon lover, so even though not a great baker, I WILL be making this!

    Thanks!!!

  12. I’m always looking for ways to get more bacon in my diet. Thanks for helping out. I think I’ll try it with my homemade biscuits, which I make with lard, of course. My mouth and tummy want to thank you; my arteries and waistline, not so much.

  20. I’m all for it – for you in Congress and also for more bacon!

    There is a restaurant by me that has a bacon-lovers brunch. It’s a trio sampler of different artisanal bacons, a main course of one of their many bacon laden dishes, and for dessert, a double chocolate bacon brownie with Jack daniels whipped cream. It’s amazing!! Here Here to bacon!

  25. This looks amazing…! But as I live and work in Saudi Arabia where Bacon is an impossible to find, haram and illegal do you have any suggestions for a substitute product? Thanks for a great recipe….. I will make this when “home” next, wherever home actually is now?

  28. I’ve recently begun to cure my own bacon. My favorite has been maple bourbon bacon. You see where I’m going with this? Yes…I’m thinking a bit of bourbon would be AMAZING? I mean they’re amazing without but I’m dying to try with
