My brother is a mega carnivore. So when my mom asked him what he wanted to eat for our dinner in celebration of him passing his Physical Therapy Certification, he said, "I want those turtle burger things. SzczerbiakManiac* knows about them, ask him." So yesterday I got a call from my mom asking me about the "turtles" I made. The first thing that popped into my mind was peanut, caramel, and chocolate clusters which I have never made in my life—I make brownies & cookies—so I was confused. But then she said, "You know, the burger patties with hot dogs and bacon." Of course I then knew to what she was referring. So I sent her the link and she said she'd get the ingredients and we'd have them on Sunday (today).
Well let me tell you, they were fücking awesome! Everyone in attendance, without exception, absolutely raved about them. Even my mom, who is an RN, was rolling her eyes all through the preparation process about how awful these were for us and mildly complained that they were a pain to make (they are pretty labor intensive) was suggesting we make this a tradition by the time dinner was over because they were so good.
We didn't cook them covered, as suggested in the recipe, and they took a lot longer to cook. Additionally, we wanted the bacon crisped up, so we finished them under the broiler for a couple minutes which made the bacon turn out really nice.
