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

Bacon is the best. has anyone tried bacconaise? its amazing in everything except tuna salad.
Now that candy sounds very interesting and tastee.
Dang, missed the cut-off for the Morning Glory give-away but I do want to thank you for the introduction to this company and their amazingly yummy-sounding brittles and such…will search for their website to check them out further, and order (that seems certain!)…thanks Joy!!!
I’d love to win.
Dear Joy,
Your blog (and you! ^_^) are amazing! I always delight in checking in to see what’s going on (cookie recipes are my fav!). Anyway, I hope that everything is going okies with you and that you have all the best of what’s to come.
Sincerely yours,
<3 Lisa
I thought I’d be a clever southern baker and make peanut brittle with Dr. Pepper once upon a time. The brittle was good, with a cayenne kick. Unfortunately, the Dr. Pepper didn’t make much of a difference.
That bacon, paprika and cashew brittle sounds intriguing!
Have a great day!
Joy-these flavors sound amazing and given I live in So. Cal I cannot believe I never heard of this company. I am going to have to come and sample your baking one day.
thank you.
Hi. Your hair looks nice. I pimp your blog out to everyone I know. I would love some free goodies so I’m commenting!
I check this website everyday…and drool.
i would attempt to make the things you make but alas i am a poor college student in another country with NO OVEN (really i just have a territorial host mother as i am in Latin America)! But really, i don’t think they even have baking soda here, i tried to find some.
Also i have an allergy to gluten so that somewhat limits my baking options.
anyway i dream of bacon and ESPECIALLY chocolate all the time!
this is my sad but true story.
yes i know the shipping would cost more but PICK ME!
I just discovered your blog a couple weeks ago and have been on a baking binge!! Just wanted to say thanks for all the great recipes! and that I’d love some chocolate!
Would love to try these – they sound divine!
Me like brittle. Me like not getting bogged down in technicalities like midnight,…. plus you didnt say which Saturday. Me like brittle. Hollah!
Hi Joy! Thanks for your great recipes and fun writing style… makes me wish I could live in the San Francisco area (instead of cold Canada ;) to try out some of the places you describe. I just discovered your ‘blog about a month ago but it’s fast become one of my faves! So far the most magnificent thing I’ve made has been the Cheddar Black Pepper Biscuits, but I’m gearing myself up for the Avocado Pound Cakes.
Oh… and your hair looks fabulous today darling :)

I like the box grater.
Bacon, almonds -and- chocolate!?! All the important food groups are there. I don’t thing there could be anything more delightful! Wonder if we could figure out the recipe?
Hi Joy!
I know moving can be uber stressful. On top of having to learn, in your new house, how to find the bed in the dark without stubbing your toe, you also have to UNPACK!! I wish I were there to help you, we’d have fun. I know a way to make you feel better, though.
GETTING MAIL!
Everyone likes mail, especially at your new digs, it makes it feel like it’s more YOURS. So, if you send me your address, I’ll send you one of my bookmarks! (I’m making prototypes now to sell on Etsy at some point)
All you hsve to do is go to my blog at http://www.justaddwatersilly.com and scroll down, there’s like ten or so designed so far… Just pick your favorite OR tell me what you’d like it to look like and I’ll paint it, bedazzle it with a beaded tassel and send it on to you! Everyone likes free stuff. I think you deserve a prezzie for all your hard work.
Hugs you you, worker bee. :o)
Best,
Jenn
I would love to try some! Thanks for all your scrumtious recipes!
I love candy too! I’ve been intrigued by the combination of bacon and sweetness. This candy makes me want to experiment with bacon and sugar treats.
This is so nice! I’m new to your blog and I’m loving it already. I’m also a fan of all things bacon and want to come up with a cupcake recipe w/bacon frosting. Still working on it :-)
LOVE YOUR BLOG!!
