Christmas Bacon Candy
Ingredients
- 1-pound thick bacon
- 3 cups light brown sugar
- 3 tbsp. yellow corn meal
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Line a baking pan with heavy aluminum foil.
- Place a baking rack in the baking pan; spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and cornmeal.
- Dip each piece of bacon into the brown sugar/cornmeal mixture; coat heavily and place onto the baking rack.
- If you run out of the brown sugar mixture before finishing, just make a little more.
- The bacon will shrink a bit, so don't worry about placing the bacon too close together.
- Bake until the bacon is red/brown, approximately 15 – 20 minutes depending on thickness of bacon.
- A little charred around the corners is good too.
- Remove to cooling rack.
- The bacon will not crisp until it cools.
- Serve at room temperature.
Notes
Alternatively, cut the slices into thirds; one third of a slice creates a nice two bite piece.
