How to Make Bacon Roses

Roll, bake, and skewer bacon into a bouquet that beats any rose.

Think you can't top a fresh bouquet of roses? Think again.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Roll up each slice of bacon so it looks like a bud.

Stick two toothpicks into each bud at the bottom to hold the roll in place, crisscrossing them so the bud can stand up.

Place on a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake for 20–30 minutes, until browned and cooked through.

Cool, remove the toothpicks, and stick a skewer into the bottom of each so it looks like a rose on a stem.

Arrange in a vase full of greenery and deliver to that special someone, who will certainly adore you for all eternity.
