Candied Bacon

(Courtesy of domesticfits.com)

Ingredients:
12 strips bacon
1/4-1/2 c. brown sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Sprinkle one side of the strips of bacon with brown sugar.  Press it into the bacon well.

Place the bacon, sugar side down, on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.  You are going to want to cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil or a Silpat, for the drippings will burn and it will be difficult to clean.

Top the other side of the bacon (the side facing up) with more brown sugar and press into the bacon.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Using a pair of tongs, turn each slice and continue to bake until dark brown and cooked through.

Bacon will not crisp in the oven.  Bacon will not get crisp until it cools and the sugar has hardened.

Allow the bacon to cool, chop and use however you want (top brownies, in ice cream, on maple doughnuts, in pancake batter, in waffle batter, on a salad, in chocolate chip cookies etc.)
