| Oh my! I saw a photo of pig candy on a blog somewhere and I just had to try it.
Yummo!! Every recipe said to use foil for easy clean up. I am so glad I listened. Once you peel those drippings from the foil you get Bacon Brittle! Awesome stuff. Two recipes for the price of one.
The yummy mess.
The bacon brittle. LOL This recipe is from the blog the Kitchy Kitchen. 8 strips thin cut bacon (hickory smoked bacon was a wonderful maple flavor already within it)
Lay the bacon on a cooling rack placed over a baking pan lined with aluminum foil (these means minimal clean up!). Cover each slice of bacon with the brown sugar mixture. It should be an even layer, thick enough so that you cannot see the bacon through it (about 1/8 or 1/4 of an inch). Place the bacon in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar is completely browned, and the bacon has curls at the edges and appears mostly cooked. Remove the bacon from the oven and flip. Cover the bacon with the rest of the brown sugar mixture, and pop back in the oven for another 4-6 minutes, or until the bacon appears fully cooked, like crunchy, but not burnt. If the bacon seems underdone, just leave in the oven for a minute or two more.

| Libation of choice? It's usually coffee, LOL, we've had this for breakfast a lot of times over the years. The Grandkids love it, but they'll eat it instead of anything else, so they are "rationed" until they eat some of the rest of whatever we're having for breakfast. Leftovers never have to be worried about, it doesn't matter how much I make, there's never any left. Sometimes I use maple syrup instead of brown sugar, but it doesn't have as much crunchy sweet crust that way. Annie |

| Well, I know for sure their mother won't let them have it for breakfast. Here they get bacon candy, waffles shaped like cows and barns and chocolate milk. Breakfast is good, LOL. Annie |

| Hello. I've never posted in here before...but I just had to this time. I'm making my husband look at this thread...he'll never believe it. He thinks my family made pig candy up, that it's some kind of idiosyncrasy peculiar to my clan. He's from north of the Mason-Dixon Line, I'm from south of it. I figure his folks just don't understand happy food! Our version rolls the candied bacon up and skewers it before broiling till it is crisp. Hot, sweet and spicy. The key to longevity. |
