Candied bacon is a sweet and savory treat that can be enjoyed by itself or used as a topping on other recipes.
Like any good American, Janette and I both LOVE bacon. We hold all parts of the pig dear to our hearts, but bacon is the clear favorite.
Naturally, we end up making a lot of recipes that incorporate it. I made this Candied Bacon to go in another dessert recipe I’ll be posting later this week, but I promise no one will judge if you just eat handfuls of it by itself.
