Morning Glory Confections Giveaway!
Three things I love:
Bacon.
Candy.
People that make special things with special ingredients.
aaaand bonus. You. I think you’re awful swell.
Because I love all of these things, I thought I’d share a little something with you.
Morning Glory Confections is a Los Angeles based artisan brittle and candy company. We’re talking handmade, small batch candy with amazing flavor combinations.
The best part? I want to send you some!
The Bacon, Spanish Paprika and Cashew Brittle recently roused my interest. It’s sweet and smoky with just a lingering bit of salt and spice. It’s absolutely delightful.
Because I couldn’t help myself, I also tried the Almond and Bacon Dragees. Lightly candied and crunchy almonds triple coated in semi sweet chocolate, dusted in cocoa powder and tiny bacon crumbled. Subtle. Chocolate. The perfect crunch. I ate them for breakfast this morning… I wish I were kidding.
And because I couldn’t order from Morning Glory without getting my absolute favorite treat… I also got a Fleur de Sel Peanut Brittle. It’s perfectly salty and sweet and marvelous.
I’m sharing with you! Three of you darling people will win some Morning Glory. Just leave a comment on this post from now until Saturday at midnight. Say hi. Tell me my hair looks nice… it’ll make me feel good. ooOh happy day!

Mmmm this brittle sounds amazing! I’ve actually heard of Morning Glory before and I’ve always wanted to try some! So sending some me way would be great… :)
Chocolate for breakfast is one of my favourites!
I just love your blog. Oh my gosh the Chai Tea & Cashew sounds soooooo good.
Bacon! I <3 it. Except for bacon vodka – that was just nasty.
Thank you for doing this giveaway! The candy looks delicious!
Your hair…email me we’ll kibitz -I have a white girl fro, and if I could get my hair to look like yours it would be peanut butter and bacon cookies daily. I teach baking in high school and your blog has created a new assignment -find the best food blog, with great pictures to inspire you, AND you can’t use Joy…she’s mine.
Love your blog, Joy! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. Also, good luck with your new apartment! (Also, you’re not the only one who loves candy for breakfast.)
My husband jokes about how obsessed I am with following your blog. All of your recipes are inspiring and exciting. I can’t wait to try the avocado pound cake. Thanks Joy for all the amazing pictures and wonderful recipes. You ROCK!
OMG, this is how you realize how many people follow your site! Can you believe it, this is the 679th comment?! WTF?!!!(Sorry, I don’t usually swear!).
Amazing Joy, you can be proud of yourself! You rock!

And I got in a semi-heated argument with a friend last night that yes, you could absolutely make bacon pancakes. He didn’t beleive me…
That candy looks so good! I would totally eat it for breakfast too :)
Love you and your recipes!!! A highlight of each and every day.

I just ate some brown butter almond brittle ice cream. Then I logged onto your site and thought the Fleur de Sel brittle looked amazing! (Not as amazing as your blog though!)
Bacon in candy sounds lovely.

Also, loving the blog! I always look forward to reading your posts and trying out the lovely recipes, so keep ‘em comin joy!
Y’know, of course your hair looks great.. It is, afterall, a common known fact that delicious cake equates to luscious locks ^-^ hehe. Have a wonderful day x
Your no roll pie crust has made me happy many times. I would love to win some candy :) Thanks, and BTW, my hair looks absolutely hideous! ;p Rainy days always makes it frizz.
Sounds great!
Love me some bacon!
Joy, your recipes and photographs are always so great! I just made your Avacado Pound Cake — it was a huge success! Keep up the good work!
I LOVE bacon! That sounds like an amazing candy store! Who knew bacon would fly so high! LOL!
Can’t wait to see some pics of the turquoise walls and the view from the new place!
Have a blessed weekend,
Captain Momma
Joy – have you tried Bacon Tomato Jam? or Bacon Chocolate? Both easy to make at home as well!
Thanks for the giveaway, would love to win.
Hi Joy!
We share the self-made baker in the great age of the twenties! Thanks for your consistency in creative recipes!
P.S. So glad you like Green & Black’s cocoa- doesn’t it liven up any chocolate recipe?! Beats Hershey’s anyday!
Hey Joy! Love your blog and your hair looks great also! :)
Your hair looks marvelous!
Didn’t the LA County Fair sell chocolate covered bacon this past year?
count me in to win!
PS- LOVE LOVE LOVE the Seattle post ;) Good luck lil sis in the big city!!
PPS- Did you do your hair dif today? Totally rad ;)
My first attempt at a bacon-flavoured dessert was a bust. I guess I need to do more “research” by tasting how the pros do it! ;)
Not sure what you’re hair looks like, but I’m sure it’s gorgeous!
Joy, I love your blog, and the recipes. Tried the Oatmeal Raspberry Scones this morning…yummm
Bacon and sugar and spices – I’m going to have to try that one way or another. I’m very disappointed that this flavor isn’t for sale on their website. Please save me the plane fare from Baltimore to LA!
A co-worker connected me to you! She comments on here occasionally, too. But she makes your wonderful recipes and brings some from time to time for our “coffee clutch” corner in my media center. It would be coooool to win some of these to share there with the other coffeeholics! Thanks for bringing us together!

Mmm, count me in.
Dear Joy,
Pour maple syurp over bacon, and bake until crispy. It’s divine. Also I love your hair, I’m super jealous.
Pork fat absolutely rules and so do you and your site!! Sweet, salty – nothing like it! Would love to try the candies. I live with some handsome guys (hubby and two teenage boys) and a beautiful teenage daughter who all just love bacon and candy! They would definitely eat those for breakfast too – LOL! Thanks for sharing all the great recipes with all of us!
I LOVE your blog Joy – I only wish I didn’t live on the East Coast so I could come to one of the really fabulous-sounding dinners you throw!
