Candied Bacon
Ingredients
- 1 Pound of Bacon thick sliced works best
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prep cookie sheets (I used 2) by placing parchment on them. Set pans nearby.
- Scoop ½ cup of the brown sugar onto a plate.
- Take strips of bacon and dunk the bacon into the brown sugar. This part gets a bit messy but it's worth it. Make sure you turn it around and coat the bacon well.
- Lay the bacon on the parchment.
- Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes.
- Peek in and see how it's doing. Cook another 5 minutes.
- Check again and adjust time depending on how well done you like your bacon. You can cook for another 5 minutes if you like yours really dark.
- Remove from oven and pull the strips off the paper after a few minutes.
- Place on a serving plate.
- Serve with a big old "oops I ate all the candied bacon and the serving platter is now empty" smile!

I know this post is older, but I just found it through a bacon pin on Pinterest (Love that bacon board of yours.) I've been making this for awhile now. I do add a bit of Cajun seasoning and chili powder for my hubby. He always asks for my sweet and spicy bacon now. He never really wants regular bacon anymore.
