It's hard to say no to crispy bacon covered in sweet brown sugar goodness with a hint of cayenne for an extra kick. When you eat bacon candy, you'll get both sweet and savory tastes.
Ingredients: 1 pound thick-cut bacon. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet, ensuring proper air circulation around the bacon slices. In a shallow bowl, mix brown sugar with cayenne pepper if using. Dredge each strip of bacon in the brown sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Place the bacon strips on the wire rack, leaving space between each slice. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the Bacon Candy as a delightful sweet and savory snack or a unique side dish.
