I made these yesterday for my DH's work and they got rave reviews. I just had to share everywhere.

This recipe yielded 24 mini-muffin sized cheesecakes and 2 ramekin-sized cheesecakes.

OMG!!! Anything with bacon would be good. I have had dark chochlate with bacon and loved it. I have yet to try the bacon donuts at our local donut shop started by some policemen (it's called Blue Dot). Bacon cheese cakes sound really YUMM!!!!

I tried the chocolate covered bacon when they were sampling it at Whole Foods and didn't love it, but I think it was the type of chocolate they used. I remember thinking, "This should be way cooler than it is." I have a recipe for dark chocolate & bacon cupcakes that I plan to try sometime before this baby is out!

My love affair with bacon has been long-lasting, but it's more intense now that I'm pregnant - I daydream about bacon in foods I never had it in before, like bacon in pancake batter or bacon praline ice cream, etc.!

Those, but fold cooked bacon into the batter and serve with maple syrup or with butter & brown sugar. Sweet Mother of Pregnant Women everywhere, that sounds so good.

With a gigantic glass of milk.

Ss made a bacon/maple cheesecake that he said was delicious. He took it to work and I didn't get to try it though. The thing I remember was that he spent about $25 making the thing and it was only an 8" pan. No cheesecake would be worth that much to me!

Wow that is an expensive cheesecake! I guess it must've used quite a bit of real maple syrup. Mine was less fancy -- regular bacon, store brand cream cheese, and instead of chocolate wafer cookies (those are $5 for a sleeve) I use oreos and scrape out & discard the white filling, lol.

You are my kind of girl!

Yes, it did use real maple syrup, brand name cream cheese bought at full price, $7 bacon, etc. There were some leftovers, such as not using the entire package of bacon or syrup, but his initial cost was really high.

[SC-Impatient_in_VA]

Mmm. It sounds so delicious. And I don't even like maple. I'd eat that though.

Apparently this baby is not as anti-maple as I am.

You know, when a cheesecake turns out right, and is homemade, it's almost always worth whatever cost went into it. There is just such a feeling of CONFIDENCE when a cheesecake turns out right!
