Please don’t bring me flowers…
What you need to make bacon roses:
24 strips of bacon (I prefer thick cut)
24 toothpicks (soaked in water)
24 long skewers
4 disposable muffin tins (6 compartments each)
Vase or tissue paper and ribbon
Paper towels
Hammer and nail
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Poke holes in muffin pan bottoms (for draining).
Place muffin pans on a baking sheet covered with foil to catch grease.
Roll individual bacon slices into “rose” shapes.
Secure with toothpicks and place one each into muffin tins.
Bake until nicely cooked (depends on your oven).
Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Gently remove toothpicks and replace (in same hole) with long skewers.
Present in a vase or bouquet to the pork lover(s) in your life.
If you have a dog, please consider sharing at least one bacon rose!

That last photo with the doggie is epic. Love.

One year for Valentine’s Day I sent my man chocolate covered bacon along with bacon caramels. Didn’t think I could top that till I saw these bacon roses. I am so excited, can’t wait to make these. 🙂

You are a bacon genius. 🙂 I love this! So crafty.
This is something I definitely must try at home. If I ever got a bouquet like this, it would be true love 🙂
I love these! In fact I love these so much I borrowed the idea and a photo for my “Bacon Gifts for Bacon Fans” Squidoo lens. I gave you credit for everything and even included a couple of links to the instructions.

I found this recipe for bacon roses. 🙂
Yessssssssss.
I did a similiar rose except I wrapped them around cocktail weenies (cut in half) sprinkled with brown sugar. Divine!
These look great! I’m making 2 bouquets. One for my husband and one for his weight lifting partner, they are both on the Paleo diet. Perfect!
Just Awesome. Thanks for the idea.
