Don't make candy bacon. I haven't made any in three years and still get hounded about it all year long.

 

I know a guy who can cook anything with a grill or deep fryer who can't master the art of making candy bacon. There must be some trick to it. Let me know how you like it.

Candy Bacon:

preheat oven to 400°

line baking sheet with foil (PARCHMENT PAPER WORKS BETTER)

place a wire rack on top and coat with cooking spray

stir together;
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp chopped pecans (or walnuts 2017)
1 1/2 tsp black pepper

rub this mixture on top of 12 slices of thick bacon

place on rack with sugar side up

bake for 22 - 25 minutes. (VARIES WITH OVEN)

let stand 5 minutes before serving

Or...

Make one batch with nuts and one batch nut-less.

Preheat oven to 400°. place bacon on rack as above for 15 min.
remove and flip while coating with brown sugar/pepper slurry. (just a little water makes a nice paste)

Repeat at 5 min intervals for 30-35 min total time in oven.


Try not to eat one batch before the next is done.
