cinnamon-scented waffles with bacon & cayenne syrup

I used to be weird about sharing recipes. Really weird.

I suppose I can explain myself with two simple reasons:

a.) I never used to write my recipes down. I tend to be an “intuitive” cook and like to make decisions in the moment, rather than follow ones pre-made on paper.

b.) My pride for my “propriety” of a recipe was excessive.

My pride – for creativity and culinary “voice” – got in the way, for sure. That was the primary reason I kept my recipes, written out or not, under lock and key.

mexican hot chocolate bark

Have I told you how much I love chocolate?  Yes?  No?  Maybe so?

Well, in case I haven’t, I do indeed love chocolate.  I could (and sometimes – err, often do) eat some form of the sweet, velvety goodness with every meal.  Can you blame me?

I figured it would be appropriate to make some type of candy/ confection since Halloween is right around the corner.  Though this isn’t your usual “candy,” it is super delicious, addicting, and sure to satisfy any sweet tooth (not that Almond Joy, Kit Kat, Twizzlers, and all those other favorites aren’t great, too).  This bark is even kinda sophisticated.  Might I suggest making some for holiday gifts?  Boxed up and tied with a cute ribbon, this bark would make a really thoughtful (and really tasty) gift.  Godiva, eat your heart out!
