Brown Sugar Bacon, another name for Pig Candy, is a delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors. When brown sugar caramelizes on bacon, it produces a crunchy, mouthwatering treat that can be eaten as a snack or used to add a special touch to your favorite recipes.
Ingredients: 1 pound thick-cut bacon. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 375F 190C. Arrange a wire rack on top of an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Make sure the bacon strips do not overlap when you place them on the wire rack. Combine the brown sugar and cayenne if using in a small bowl. Evenly distribute the brown sugar mixture over every bacon strip, pressing a little bit to cling. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized, in a preheated oven. To avoid burning the bacon, keep a close check on it. When finished, take the bacon out of the oven and allow it to cool on the wire rack for a few minutes. To ensure it cools completely, carefully move the Pig Candy to a plate covered with parchment paper or a serving platter. Savor your mouthwatering Brown Sugar Bacon Pig Candy as a savory and sweet snack or as a novel way to top sandwiches, salads, or burgers.
