For those of you who know me, I am a bacon fanatic… I find a way to get it my belly almost every day, and I love a play on sweet and savory combinations. So here are my favorite Halloween inspired bacon dishes:

1) Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Spears from Officially Gluten Free

2) Chocolate Covered Bacon from Paleo Leap

Once upon a time, it was chips, but now I tend to sway more to the faux chip side of things… same satisfaction from eating chips but won’t make you feel gross after eating them.
