Heavenly Orbs of Belgian Goodness?

I do actually like brussels sprouts. I still miss a snack that used to be on the menu at a local bar where they deep-fried brussels sprouts and tossed them bacon bits; my friends and I practically licked the plate after we'd eaten them. So I didn't hesitate to make an Alton Brown recipe where the sprouts get tossed with bacon, apples, and maple-mustard dressing. They were in season at the farmer's market so it seemed like a sign.

Sprouts still on the stalk (I was lazy and got the ones already off the stalk)

For all the hype though this isn't something that's going on my "heavenly" foods list. They're good, they're just not lick the pan good.
