Why did I buy this?

[Saphire]

Any chance you could use butter instead of the bacon in this recipe?

In general I have a bunch of stuff in my pantry that I use, some every day, some once a month

Often:
Konjac noodles
ACV
Almond flour
Psyllium (for bread rolls from DietDoctor)

Sometimes
Coconut flour
Coco powder
Xanthum gum
Coconut milk and cream

Rarely but still use

Collagen protein (whenever I think I need to work on joint repair or sometimes added to bone meal during a fast)
Nutritional yeast, whenever I go on a dairy free kick, which never lasts

Whey I have because one of my non keto teenagers wanted it. He used all of it except the last inch a couple of months ago and it sits in my pantry driving me crazy

Who throws out bacon grease? I need it for pan frying, and it’s the reason I buy bacon. The bacon itself is a tasty, edible byproduct.

Modifications to bacon fat fudge:
1 3.5 oz bar Lindt 85% dark chocolate
1/2 cup bacon fat
1 tablespoon Sukrin confectionary sugar (erithyrol & stevia mix)
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla

Drop all ingredients in glass measuring cup, nuke on low for 30 second intervals. Stir to melt chocolate, taste (repeatedly…lol), pour into molds…probably would have used both molds exactly…but somehow…yum regardless! Thanks for posting!

Oh, yes. I’ve been looking for a decent dairy and nut-free fudge recipe for a while now, and I’ve got plenty of bacon grease, so I’m hopefully going to be making these
I have a bit of an issue with the texture of coconut oil in these sort of treats, but bacon grease on the other hand? I’ve eaten it with a spoon with berries on top

I don’t throw out food, but the bacon grease I got from some not very nice store-bought bacon (I rarely eat bacon and they never produced bacon grease as I fried eggs in that right away) is almost as bad as tallow for me, it’s my least favorite fat now (I mean, among the ones I actually eat. I feed the tallow to the cats and chickadees but it’s rare in this household) as it’s very similar to store-bought lard, ew! I guess I avoid bacon in the future, it’s nice when fried and crunchy though. But I can make other, better crunchy things.
(I am sure there are nicer bacon but I won’t experiment anymore. I am a sausage and smoked chuck person when it’s not about fresh meat and I can buy those from a good source.)

So I think it may be about personal taste and the quality of bacon grease…
Even the taste of this inferior one can be masked with eggs but I feel serious temptation to grab some of my better fats…

I’m eating the bacon fat fudge now, it’s quite tasty. I made half a batch about an hour and a half ago, it’s half gone now
