At this year's Summer Camp, they thought it would be cool to have a Dessert Competition for the adults scouts, so me and Michael and some other scouts came up with a few crazy ideas, we put them together with just camp material and made an insane/super tasty combination.
Our creation that gave us the first place (on a two dessert competition) was a Chocolate torte, which is a flour less cake with walnut chunks and crunchy bacon. we had two sauces, a caramel rosemary and a chocolate orange zest. and it was all complained by a strawberry compote and chocolate shavings, with a crispy bacon half dipped in chocolate. Enjoy!

Love how simple you can make thing kind of things, i just cut a bunch of star berries and cook them for about an hour with some sugar, water and walnuts.

And people after been a bit skeptical about the bacon with the chocolate realized how amazing the taste was and finally agreed with me that there's nothing better than bacon and chocolate together.
