Unlike the monkey bread recipe, this one calls for making dough from scratch. But don’t worry, it’s very easy. If I can do it, so can you!

22. Maple Candied Bacon 

This maple candied bacon will satisfy any craving.

23. Fruit Salad 

Light and healthy dishes normally get ignored at potlucks, but this fruit salad is an exception. Just because it’s good for you doesn’t mean it lacks flavor.

I gotta tell ya, this recipe is definitely one-of-a-kind. Honestly, I was taken aback when I first read the ingredients. I mean, egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, and salt in a fruit salad dressing? 

But when I tried it? Oh boy, it’s so darn delicious! The flavors are just spot on! Whatever fruits you add, it doesn’t matter. It will still taste incredible.
