Tired of the same old fudge? Try my recipe with white chips, maple flavoring and bacon. Then be prepared to share the recipe! —Mindie Hilton, Susanville, California

Ingredients

1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup butter, cubed, divided
10 slices ready-to-serve fully cooked bacon
2 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) white baking chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 teaspoon maple flavoring

Line a 9-in. square pan with foil; grease foil with 1 teaspoon butter. Heat bacon according to package directions. Crumble bacon and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine baking chips, condensed milk, flavoring and remaining butter. Microwave on high 1 minute; stir until smooth. (If chips aren't completely melted, microwave in 10- to 20-second intervals until melted; stir until smooth.) Stir in bacon; pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm.
Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares.
To Make Ahead: Store fudge, layered between waxed paper, in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
Freeze option: Wrap fudge in waxed paper, then in foil. Place in freezer containers and freeze. To thaw, bring wrapped fudge to room temperature.

Followed recipe exactly, except did on stove. This was too sweet and tasted off somehow. I made three types of fudge for a Christmas party and this was the only kind left. It was barely touched. If I make it again, will try sprinkling sea salt on top or more bacon or a different brand of white chocolate.
