Candied Bacon 12 thick-cut hickory or applewood smoked bacon slices ½ cup brown sugar 1 Tbs. cayenne pepper 1½ Tbs. cinnamon Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a wire rack in over an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet. In a medium bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Generously sprinkle and heavily coat each strip of bacon with the sugar mixture. Place the bacon in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and sugar mixture is brown and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool on the wire rack. The bacon will become crisper as it cools. Place in mason jars and wrap with ribbon for an sweet and spicy homemade treat.
