For those of us who've always wondered why lollipops only come in the traditional "favorite" candy flavors like cherry, grape, watermelon, and the occasional licorice, (not counting the novelty tequila lollipops sold in souvenir shops), comes some lick-able stick candy guys can really wrap their tastebuds around.

With chunks of real bacon encased in the sugary amber goodness of pure hardened maple syrup, the Maple-Bacon lollypop from Lollyphile.com is enough to turn even the toughest guy into a lolly-sucking kid. (A pork loving 5-year-old kid on a sugar high.)

And speaking of high... Lollyphile also offers an Absinth lollipop, made with 100% real (and newly legal), absinth. The perfect party favor to liven up your next dinner party. Your guests will go crazy (literally) for them.

$24 for a dozen
