You’ve perfected lacy-edged fried eggs with their golden, gooey yolks. Your stacks of pancakes are so light and lofty they’re practically floating off of the plate. Now it’s time to upgrade your bacon for the ultimate breakfast spread.
Candied bacon is sweet, salty, and savory—just the thing for a decadent (yet easy!) breakfast spread.
What Is Candied Bacon Made Of?
Make sweet and salty candied bacon with just three ingredients: bacon, brown sugar, and freshly ground black pepper. Regular-sliced bacon works best for this recipe, rendering the bacon crisp and candied. Both light and dark brown sugar work well here, but keep a close eye on the bacon if you opt for the latter; the higher molasses content of dark brown sugar can cause the bacon to brown more quickly.
