Bacon Brats
Bacon Cinnamon Rolls
Sizzling Bacon Tacos
Catfish Bacon Slider
Maple Bacon Bourbon Bread Pudding
Philly Cheese Bacon Sandwich
Bacon Coney Slaw Dog

Also, https://www.in.gov/dwd/files/Indiana_Crop_Production_pg2.pdf shows that Indiana is the 4th largest producer of Peppermint, and 5th largest of Spearmint!
Just as a note, it also shows Indiana as the 2nd largest producer of tomatoes for processing (Red Gold being the largest), and 2nd for Ice Cream Production! mmmmhhhh
Look forward to seeing Holiday World again next year!
