unfortunately, you'll need to buy the magazine (or be a subscriber) to read the whole thing.

It took almost five years, Taste of Home's April-May edition features bacon. Their food editor was demonstrating chocolate covered bacon on WGN : crisp bacon brushed with chocolate. You can watch her demo and obtain these recipes on WGN's website:

Most of their recipes are submitted by readers.
