I wanted to like this as it has super ingredients, but I thought the two b's--bourbon and bacon just did not work for me. The waffle itself is too salty for my taste. Concerning the syrup the bourbon was the first thing I noticed--too strong. I am writing this review as part of the Newest Zaar tag game.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
