Next is my sassy twist on candied bacon. It is salty, sweet and muy caliente! This candied bacon is totally legit! It is also multi-function! As easy as it is to eat this on it’s own, it can also be used as a topping for other sweet treats. Crumbled atop cookies or cupcakes or as a jazzed up ingredient for a decadent salad… use your imagination and make bacon!
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound thick cut bacon cut in half
