Candied Bacon Coffee Waffle Sandwich

Candied Bacon Coffee Waffle Sandwich

By: Areli - Hopkins, MA - 2016 Recipe Contest

"This recipe is special because I was able to combine coffee, bacon and chocolate (is there anything better for breakfast?), plus the creaminess of a citrus soft cheese with walnuts and a hint of spicy. Blueberries and basil for freshness and for a total one bite breakfast experience.
Drizzling some sweet coffee and chocolate syrup and a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes brings a Latin twists dear to my heart and soul ;finishing with a touch of Mexican grater chocolate in memory of my mom. I hope you enjoy. We did!"
