BACON TURTLES: Anyone have a recipe for this?

I ran across the following photo on another blog I read consistently. It looks for-real: it's really bacon, and the heads/feet look like some form of hot-dog.

What's not evident at all (to me) is the size of these things. If it's hotdogs that are used, then these must be approximately one-serving sizes: one turtle per person. Or, maybe you're supposed to slice them in half and serve half a turtle?

At any rate, a platter of single-serving bacon turtles might be a big hit with a cub-scout pack dinner. I'm going to give try to conjure up a recipe (what's the stuffing under the bacon???) but thought I'd put the photo up here, just in case someone already has a recipe for this.

It’s hard to find an actual recipe for these things but they sure have a lot pictures all over the internet. I think the funniest comment I saw was ‘heart attack in a half-shell’ LOL.

You can calculate amounts on the website depending on how many you want to make.

Those are cute. The pic reminded me to check the bacon that is cooking in the oven right now.

I was just telling my niece I need to try out a version of Bacon Explosion to test for the holidays. I’m going to do it in the oven and use a mix of ground pork and beef instead of sausage.
