**Candied Bacon**
Makes 10 to 16 pieces
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
**Ingredients:**
* 1 pound (10 to 16 slices) bacon
* ⅓ cup maple syrup
* ½ cup brown sugar
* Ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
* Cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)
**Directions:**
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, and another baking sheet with parchment paper.
1. Place the slices of bacon on a greased wire rack, and place the wire rack on the foil-lined baking pan.
1. Brush the top of the bacon with the maple syrup, and sprinkle with the brown sugar. If using, sprinkle the bacon with the ground black pepper and cayenne pepper.
1. Place a second greased wire rack upside-down on top of the bacon. Doing so will help prevent the bacon from curling during cooking.
1. Bake for 15 minutes.
1. After 15 minutes, remove the second wire rack and flip the bacon. Brush the fresh sides of the bacon with more maple syrup, sprinkle with more brown sugar, and season with additional black pepper and cayenne pepper, if using.
1. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Watch closely during the last 15 minutes, since the sugar can begin to burn if cooked too long. If needed, lower the oven temperature to allow the bacon time to crisp before getting too dark.
1. Remove the bacon from the oven, and let the cooked bacon cool for 5 minutes.
1. Remove the bacon from the wire rack, so that it does not begin to stick, and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet to continue cooling. Wait until the candied bacon is at room temperature before serving.
TheLadyEve: What do you do with candied bacon? I can maybe see crumbling it up to add to cornbread, or sprinkling it in a salad, but it seems like it’s going to be awfully sweet and hard to balance out in a dish.

daddytwofoot: Add a splash or three of bourbon to the maple syrup if you really want to kick this up a notch
damgas92: I got diabetes just from watching this.
slashing164: Is there a vegan version of this?
HagridsLadyFriend: Where do you get baking trays with the wire tray to go on top? I’ve been looking for a while.
halite001: Hmmm… it’s bacon. How can we make this less healthy?
Kazzilla: That looks revolting. Maybe you should put some more sugar on.
RedAngellion: This hurt my teeth to watch.
