Wandering through First Friday, I was craving somethin' sweet. Not having tried Sweet Republic before I was intrigued by their lil'bus. As I stood back to read the menu I was intrigued by what I saw...I [heart] bacon....sweet salted caramel....mmmmmm. \nAlways looking to try something new and always down for caramel I was torn on which one to choose...the Universe provided me with my answer as a man in front of me orders a double with a scoop of the I [heart] bacon and the caramel....[Thank You]....I decided on the same! \n\nThe bacon was a rich creamy sweet cream base with these small bits of slightly salty, slightly sugary, slightly smokey bacon morsels. Kind of reminded me of a toasted candied pecans and salted peanuts on my ice cream but BETTER. Come on people it is bacon we're talking about here!! WOW! Totally not what I expected! \n\nThe Salted caramel, was very good also but relative to what I paired it up to it was mild by comparison. Also I am kind of spoiled by the occasional treat of Hagen daz's Signature Fleur de Sel Caramel ice cream with mini chocolate caved Salted caramels. Ooh MY Goodness's* sooooo good. \nIt's been a week and I can still remember that flavor like it was yesterday's folks I [heart] bacon!
