Have you tried Pekara’s maple bacon butter yet? It’s delicious. I’m usually more of a savory-savory compound butter person, but this sweet-savory combo is special. It’s put together simply: butter, maple syrup, cooked bacon pieces. There’s no extra bacon fat mixed in.
This is the thing that will take your brunch to the next level; it’s sure to impress your friends. I bet it’s also pretty darn tasty on some popcorn. The tub is huge ($5.75), so you should have enough to slather on the baguette you pick up when you buy the butter.
