Bacon IS meat candy

Bacon Candy

Ingredients:
1 lb bacon (not thick-cut)
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Slice bacon into 1/2-inch strips and dredge in brown sugar until thoroughly coated.
3. Crumple aluminum foil to allow for grease drainage and place it on a baking sheet. Lay out the bacon on the foil making sure not to overlap pieces.
4. Bake until crispy. Allow to cool and harden before serving.

Oh yeah.  Perfect with some bacon vodka.

Or try this.

I used to make what I called "redneck rumaki". No liver, just bacon wrapped around a water chesnut, sprinkled with brown sugar and broiled. They're awesome.

Stacy, they are even BETTER if you marinade the water chestnuts in soy sauce...

I'm soooo gonna try this!!!

Bacon IS candy, and I can see why you might want something sweet to eat to forget last night's basketball result.

I'm not gloating as I have a bad feeling about the rematch. However, the Patriots lost and the Heels lost this week, which means I won't need a birthday present next month.

Hmmm... I've heard of baked, bacon-wrapped scallops, served with a variety of awesome dipping sauces, but not water chestnuts.

I loves me the scallop variety, so I may have to try the other.
