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!

So as a new lover of bacon I feel like I need to experience candied bacon.
Kim Beaulieu
You must. Like immediately. Like right now.
john@kitchenriffs
I love candied bacon! And haven't made it for ages. Mrs K R has been bugging me to make some for the last couple of months. Maybe it's time again? 😉 Good stuff - thanks.
Kim Beaulieu
It's just so over the top and decadent. I love it. I could not stop eating it. You must make it again John, it's been too long. Make the wife happy and whip some up.
Kayle (The Cooking Actress)
OMG candied bacon is like...it. It's the stuff.
Kim Beaulieu
I cracked up at your comment. It was so Canadian of you. I love it.
Leslie
I am so grateful that you posted this. We had candied bacon in a BLT salad in a restaurant, and I have been craving it ever since.
Kim Beaulieu
That sounds delish, I bet candied bacon in a BLT is smashingly good. That's a must try. Let me know what you think if you try it.
kesha
I love bacon and this is a must try on my list! Sounds delicious
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks so much Kesha. Hope you love it.

🙁 Should have read the terms for entry first. Canadians left out again! Oh well, maybe some other time.
Kim Beaulieu
I'm Canadian myself so I can totally relate. This is the first giveaway I've done without including my own country, feels so flipping weird.
Andrea
Brunch today was hummus on freshly baked pita and cafe au lait. Not the best mix but I was in a rush 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
Actually that sounds lovely. Some days simple and classic are best. Happy Sunday Andrea.
Rae O Sunshine
I dice the bacon, then toss it with the sugar and bake, then use it to garnish things like Elvis Cupecakes!
Kim Beaulieu
Very cool idea Rae. I have some set aside for an amped up salad. Super excited.
Elvis cupcakes...seriously cool!
Jenny
I've done this before & LOVED it, but my family wanted regular bacon...boring!
Kim Beaulieu
I can't blame you, what's not to love about candied bacon right. My daughter is the same way as your family. She saw me candying it and was upset. Apparently I was "wasting" bacon. Lol.

mellissa @ ibreatheimhungry
I am firmly in the "get in mah bellah!!!!" camp! Holy moly this looks amazing!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks lady. I love this stuff. I was shoving it my pie hole at an alarming rate.

As if candied bacon weren't enough... 🙂 Thanks so much for this fantastic giveaway opportunity!!!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks so much Kim. Good luck.
Grubarazzi
candied bacon...whaaaaat... can I put this on pancakes? Is that allowed? 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
Totally allowed and encouraged!!!
Suzanne
Every time I saw your post title, I kept thinking it said "Canadian Bacon." A recipe for candied bacon sounds much better.
Kim Beaulieu
Lol Suzanne. I am Canadian so I could likely pull that off. Or maybe Candied Canadian Bacon. That would be awesome. Thanks for visiting.
Asiya @ Chocolate and Chillies
As I was reading this I was thinking "Is this really open to Canadians??? These prizes are amazing"....will have to wait till the end of the week for the Canuck giveaway 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
I was hoping some of them would be Canuck friendly, always a bummer when we get left out for sure.
katie
mmmm I love me some candied bacon... my mouth is watering!
Eugenie
Candied bacon sounds out of this world.
