Start this road trip off right with a maple bacon donut from Flanders Donut, Bagel & Bake Shop. Bite into a perfect dough donut with a slightly sweet maple glaze. The generous amount of bacon applied to top it off is a sure-fire home run with bacon lovers.
This super sweet candy shop is the next stop on this bacon trail. Sink your teeth into a baconluxious candy bar for the heavenly combination of bacon, sea salt, maple, and chocolate. This undeniably delicious treat pays homage to your sweet cravings while satisfying your bacon-loving spirit.
Next stop is BAR in New Haven where you'll indulge in a bacon-covered pizza. The mashed potato pie is a much-loved favorite amongst the locals. While it sounds a bit odd, once you try the thin crust white pie with garlic, mashed potatoes, and a healthy helping of bacon, you'll be a life-long fan.
You've made a stop for the bacon chocolate bar and now it's time for bacon lollipops. At Max Burger, these bites on the end of a stick are the thing you never knew you were craving. Crispy with an apple cider glaze, "lollipops" have never been so good.
So who are you taking with you to cruise down the Connecticut Bacon Trail? The Nutmeg state is full of all kinds of foodie road trips. For the sweeter side of your palate try this Donut Trail or if you’re looking for an adult weekend, grab a designated driver and hop on this Brewery Trail.
