Sure, this candied bacon is great in the morning with pancakes . . . but, if we're being honest, this sweet and savory snack is great at any time of the day. To take this breakfast all-star to a whole new level, we use brown sugar to balance the smoky, briny bacon and a sprinkle of cayenne to add a touch of heat. Results will vary depending on brand and thickness of the bacon you use, but this recipe will generally yield chewier bacon. You can extend the cook time if you prefer it darker, but watch it carefully as the sugar can burn.
