Candied Bacon

 This recipe could not be easier! I make this when I am making a charcuterie board. Simply stack them upright in a fancy jar or even a mug. 

1 lb bacon, ( not thick)

brown sugar about 1 cup ( I use dark brown sugar)

pepper

Pre-heat oven to 375

If you like to change it up a bit you can spice it up and use a little cayenne pepper on some of the slices. 

Place brown sugar on a plate, and spread out. Now take a slice of bacon, lay the bacon down, and generously coat both sides with the brown sugar. Remove the bacon to a rack that is sitting over a lined cookie sheet. ( This will help with clean-up  later ) Repeat with each slice. You will need more than one batch or 2 racks/ sheets. Sprinkle with pepper as desired.

NOTE: If you do not have racks to place on the cookie sheets, you can just line the cookie sheets with non-stick foil to bake the bacon. I've done this and just had to turn each slice over halfway through. 

Bake for 20 minutes, checking for doneness. Once done allow to cool.  Enjoy, these will not last!!
