Who can say no to a slice of bacon? Certainly not me. While bacon has long been a staple on sandwiches, the breakably crunchy, bendy, greasy nature has made it hard-to-handle as a stand-alone.
This is the crunchiest and best batch (of 3 so far this AM) of Snackin' Bacon. I will admit I'm getting a bit over-salted, but the investigation continues. pic.twitter.com/3HAIzwLR0t

Since my friend @TomJackmanWP asks if my investigative reports on @dunkindonuts Snackin’ Bacon is a paid commercial announcement, I present my greasy receipts. You stick to crime reporting, professor — I’ll handle the bacon beat. pic.twitter.com/o0yhrX9wOp

Dunkin’ has introduced Snackin’ Bacon — literally a cardboard sleeve full of bacon, as a menu item. According to the company’s news release, “Snackin’ Bacon comes with 8 half-strips of our high-end bacon (equivalent to 4 full strips!)” Duh, Dunkin’.
All bacon, all the time. Spending the morning ISO @dunkindonuts Snackin’ Bacon. I had to point out the new menu item to the employee here, but whatever. A bag of bacon puts me in a good mood. pic.twitter.com/4D4M9MOrrL

”Our Snackin’ Bacon starts its journey smoked with natural cherrywood. It’s then treated to our sweet and savory blend of brown sugar and black paper seasoning, creating a delightfully caramelized bacon our fans known and love from our Sweet Black Pepper Bacon Breakfast Sandwich,” says Dunkin’.
