How to Bake Bacon Candy
Next lay the bacon strips out on a cooling rack set over a cookie sheet (covering the cookie sheet in foil makes it easier to clean up). Use a basting brush to coat the bacon with the savory and spicy glaze.
Bake in the oven at 400 for 15 min. Remove from oven, flip bacon, coat other side with the glaze, and let sit for 1 minute. Return to oven for 12-15 min.
Remove from oven when bacon is crispy but not burnt. Allow bacon to cool but take it off the rack before it sticks. Now you can enjoy your bacon candy.
