Because real roses just don't taste very good.
2
BACON - (1 regular pack & 1 thick cut pack); Rose Stems; Glass Vase; Mini Muffin Pan; Broiler Pan; Drill with 1/8 bit;
3
Place the muffin pan on top of the broiler pan.
4
Drill holes in the bottom of the muffin pan. This will allow the grease to drain when cooking the bacon.
5
Preheat the oven to 375 deg. Fahrenheit; Open the bacon and begin tightly rolling the roses, one piece at a time.
6
Start with the widest end of the bacon, with the fat edge down. I like to use a combination of thick and thin bacon so I end up with a variety of rose shapes.
7
Place all of the bacon in the muffin pans pushing down slightly.
8
Pull all of the roses off from the stems. Pull the green backing off from the rose and then separate it into individual parts.
9
Discard petals & center red piece. Reassemble remaining green parts. Put green piece back on stem, but force it down so approx 1 inch of stem protrudes
10
Put the stems in your vase and fill with gravel or marbles to hold them in place.
11
Place in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check in on them occasionally. Sometimes you will have to lift the rose so the grease will drain out the pan.
12
When the bacon buds are done, remove from the oven and place on paper towel to cool.
13
Pick your favorites and slide them onto the protruding stems.
14
Arrange the roses to your liking and then present the aromatic bouquet to your favorite bacon fanatic!

Last but not least: PREPARE TO GET LAID!
