This candied bacon recipe only has two ingredients. It’s easy to whip up and is sure to make everyone ooh and aah. They are sweet, savory, and absolutely addictive! You may need to double or triple the recipe in order to keep up with demand!
It’s a good idea to check the candied bacon around 20 minutes, though, because some strips can cook faster than others. When the brown sugar melts and the pieces turn deep brown, they are done.
You should allow these tailgating snacks to cool for a bit before serving them, because bacon grease can be very hot. After the cooling process occurs, it is time to enjoy the candied bacon.
