Skip the cheap grocery-store flower bouquet. Wow them with an edible bouquet instead. This easy Candied Bacon Roses recipe will show your special someone just how special they are. Sweet, savory, and smoky, this unique bacon bouquet is sure to leave a lasting impression.
It’s so simple to make. Just buy a premade bouquet of roses and replace the flowers with bacon roses! Each thick-cut bacon “rose” is coated in a light layer of caramelized brown sugar and agave syrup then rolled up and smoked low and slow on the grill. You can cook these on your smoker if you like, but I usually cook them on the grill. Either way, the savory bacon spirals get a touch of sweetness from the sugars, a kiss of smoke from the grill or smoker, and they end up firming up into what looks like red roses! Impale the smoked candied bacon roses on the stems of the pre-made bouquet, and present this edible arrangement to your special someone. They will be swooning as they nibble on the sweet, savory treat!
I originally created this Candied Bacon Roses recipe for Kingsford.com for Mother’s Day. But you can use it for any special occasion. Whip up a bouquet of Candied Bacon Roses and you’ll be the hero of Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or any special day!
