I took the advice of the Culianry Explorer and cooked the bacon longer. I did 15 minutes on each side. I have to be honest, I was skeptical about the cream sauce with the scallops but I was very surprised how well it went together. I had the dip on the side, the guest of honor made the same comment that she wasn't a dipping person but tried it and found that she loved the sauce and asked for the recipe. I made some extra sauce and cooked pork chops with it, it came out awesome! Thank you for sharing!

These had a nice flavor to them, however we were not happy with the way the bacon cooked. It stayed pretty chewey and we're the type to like ours crisp. I did give it extra time in the oven at the start and it still didn't really cook up. I think I would cook it til it was much farther along next time before wrapping around the scallops to get it more crisp. The sauce was nice and had a different taste to it. Pretty simple to put together.

<p>Just moved with my family to Spokane after living in Pacific Northwest for over 20 years. Getting adjusted to new things and work most of the time these days. Most of the recipes I obtain are from magazines, newsstand cookbooks, and of course from home. I use to work in a bookstore and on my break I'd often be thumbing through cookbooks looking for desserts to try.</p>
