Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 8 slices

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare the baking dish by lining a cookie sheet with foil, then place a wire rack on the cookie sheet.
  • Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the wire rack, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine brown sugar and pecans in a bowl. (If you'd like finer pecan pieces, process them together in a food processor.)
  • Remove bacon from oven and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on both sides. Bake again until browned and crispy, 10-15 minutes more.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely (or nearly completely!) before enjoying.

Notes

Candied bacon pairs wonderfully with chocolate. Drizzle some on, or try it with a chocolatey cocktail, chocolate mousse, or in chocolate chip cookies.
