Sticky, crunchy, spicy with a deliciously crispy-chewy texture...Candied Bacon really is all of that and more. This recipe combines salty and sweet for an irresistible snack that’s a guaranteed favorite. We basted bacon with brown sugar, maple syrup and hot sauce and then we smoked it and basted it some more.
We made this recipe on the Rider 600 Pellet Grill, but you can make it on your grill or smoker.
