I made this tonight for a bridal shower, both the bride and groom love bourbon so I thought this would be great and I should have made a double batch because it was incredible! I stuck to the recipe except I used peppered bacon which added a nice kick in addition to the chipotle. Next time I might add a bit more bourbon because the flavor was not quite strong enough for me, but being from Kentucky it never is!

Made a second batch and I doubled the recipe for a picnic this weekend. This time I used 1/2 cup butter and then poured in the bacon drippings. I used 1/2 cup maple syrup instead of the corn syrup, 2 tsp chipolte chili but only 3 Tbl of the bourbon. It turned out gooey with a bit more zing. I like it much better this way. My husband is still not sure. (But he sure ate a ton of it while I was trying to bag it for the picnic.)

Just got done making this for a weekend gathering. I had read the reviews and ramped up the bacon by putting a whole pound in. Glad I did as it needed more salt. It's not bad but I don't know that it's great either. I did use maple syrup instead of the corn syrup as suggested. I would definitely go that route again. I am wondering if using some of the bacon drippings instead of the butter might give it more of the bacon flavor that is needed...
