Mommy Brings Home the Bacon (Bacon Cannoli Cups)

Hope that you are thinking about your Mom for Mother's Day tomorrow...What mom wouldn't love Cannoli's on their special day?  Ok, so maybe the lactose-intolerant or consistency-food-textures-intolerant...why not add bacon?

Did you know...that there is a book all about how Mom can also bring home the bacon?  I find this on my last mission to "as the magic box" about Mothers and Bacon.  "Mommy Brings Home the Bacon" is a heartwarming story that explores the touching relationship between a young boy and his working mother.

I made my own desert for Mother's Day, a day early, cause it looked really ungodly delicious.  This is the Second Attempt at making these.  Last night's Cannoli Filling did not set up.  It was Cannoli Soup.  So I scrapped that and started again.  Much better recipe and absolutely beautiful.
