Our Bourbon Candied Bacon Bites Recipe

bacon

brown sugar

bourbon

vanilla extract

red pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two&nbsp;large rimmed baking sheets with foil or parchment paper. Then set a&nbsp;wire baking rack on each sheet.

Mix the brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Cut the bacon into squares and toss it in the bourbon mixture. Mix well to coat.

Place the bacon squares on the wire racks. Brush additional bourbon mixture over the bacon, saving the rest for later. Bake for 40-60 minutes, until the bacon is brick-red and crisp. Brush the bacon with the remaining bourbon glaze halfway through baking. (Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon.)

The bacon will still be a little flexible while it's hot, but should quickly cool into dry pieces that are crisp on both sides. You can take a piece out of the oven and cool it to test for doneness. Cool the bacon to room temperature, then serve or package for gifts! (Crisp dry Pig Candy can sit out at room temperature for up to 3 days. But feel free to keep it in the refrigerator, just to be safe.)

Candied Bourbon Bacon Bites

Smoked Candied Bacon takes the best food of all time (bacon) and makes it BETTER with a sweet coating of maple syrup, brown sugar, and my famous sweet rub seasoning.

Smoked Candied Bacon

maple syrup

Tablespoons Sweet Rub

Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F.

Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a flat cooking rack on top of the baking sheet and lay the bacon down in a single layer on the rack.

Brush the top side of the bacon with maple syrup, then sprinkle each piece with some of the brown sugar and the sweet rub.

Place the baking sheet in the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 12-15 minutes or until the fat has started to render, the sugar has mostly melted, and the edges have started to wrinkle.

Flip the bacon over and brush the top with maple syrup, and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar and sweet rub.

Close the lid and smoke for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked to your liking.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Homemade Jalapeno Bacon is spicy, smoky, sweet and savory! Perfect for brunch, breakfast and party appetizers.

Jalapeno Bacon

bacon grease ((or substitute butter))

jalapeños, (seeded and diced)

salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a heat-proof wire rack. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray so your bacon doesn’t stick.

Reserve 1 tablespoon diced jalapeños for garnish, mince and spread on a paper towel to remove moisture.

Heat the bacon fat or butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Sauté the remaining chopped jalapeños until tender, about 6 minutes.

Add the brown sugar, pepper, salt and water, and stir just until the sugar melts (but don’t bring to a boil). Remove from heat.

Cool the mixture for 5 minutes and transfer to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process 2-3 times until the mixture is fairly smooth, using a spatula to push the mixture from the sides of the bowl so it can all be incorporated.

Pour the glaze mixture in a shallow dish. Drag each piece of bacon through the glaze, making sure each piece is generously coated and arrange the bacon strips on the prepared baking rack.

Bake until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, about 30-35 minutes. (The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your bacon. Check the bacon after about 20 minutes of cooking time. If the outer strips are cooking faster than the inner strips, use a metal spatula to carefully rearrange the strips and move the outer ones to the center.)

Remove from the oven, place the pan on a cooling rack, and cool the bacon on the pan for 10 minutes. Lay the strips on a double layer of paper towels to drain, and remove to a serving dish. (Don’t leave the strips on the paper towels or they may stick and remove some of the glaze.) Makes 8 strips.

Arrange in a serving dish and sprinkle reserved minced jalapeno over the bacon strips. Makes 8 slices.
