Since August is #baconmonth I wanted to create something crazy and funky. With a combination of Guinness, bacon syrup, espresso, chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup, bacon whipped cream & real bacon, this shake is the perfect treat for adults! The combination may sound weird, but I assure you, it tastes so good together! :)
In case you are wondering, I bought my bacon syrup online ... although, you may be able to find it locally. If you have never checked out Torani, be prepared .... there are a ton of fun and yummy flavors to choose from! (Just a side note, this is not sponsored, nor have I have ever worked with Torani! If you'd like some flavor suggestions, my faves are Peppermint, Salted Caramel and Pumpkin Spice!)
