Chocolate may be the more famous Valentine’s Day treat, but there’s no better way to say “I love you” than to give your sweetheart the best treat of all -- bacon.

Step 1: Pick a plastic bouquet with removable flowers. Take off the plastic flowers.

Step 2: Roll your bacon tightly into a role. Secure with toothpicks.

Step 3: Pin the bacon at the base to form a “T.”

Step 4: Bake the bacon for 30 to 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit atop a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking pan.

Step 5: Cool the bacon, remove the toothpicks and attach the bacon “rose” to the plastic stem.

Step 6: Give your bacon bouquet to your sweetheart.
