Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the cashews on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast the cashews for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Be sure to watch the cashews carefully so they don't burn! Remove the cashews from the oven and cool. In a saucepan (copper works best), add the sugar and the water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling and the sugar has dissolved, add the cashews. Continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly. The sugar will thicken, and then become granular again, continue stirring. The sugar will then begin to turn back into a clear liquid. When all of the sugar has turned into a clear liquid, remove the pan from the heat, stirring constantly. Once the sugar begins to turn a golden color, spoon the nuts onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Allow to cool.;

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
- Separate the bacon into strips and blot each dry. Spread the sugar on a large plate. Press both sides of each bacon strip in the sugar. Arrange the coated bacon on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with any remaining sugar.
- Bake the bacon for 15 minutes, turn the strips over and continue to bake until golden and glazed, 15 to 20 minutes more (it will still be pliable). Remove to a rack and let cool; the bacon will harden but it won't be super crispy.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over once, until bacon is lightly browned on edges but still flexible, 5 to 6 minutes total per batch. Transfer bacon as cooked to paper towels to drain.
- Pour off fat from skillet and arrange bacon in skillet in 1 layer. Sprinkle Demerara sugar over bacon and cook over low heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until sugar is dissolved, caramelized (sugar melts very slowly and burns easily; reduce heat if necessary after sugar begins to caramelize), and coats bacon, 8 to 10 minutes. (Bacon will be dark and look lacquered.) Transfer bacon with tongs to brown paper to cool.
Tips:
- Use thick-cut bacon. This will help the bacon to hold its shape and not crumble when it is coated in the sugar mixture.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent the bacon from becoming chewy.
- Use a non-stick pan. This will help to prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan and making a mess.
- Make sure the sugar mixture is completely dissolved before adding the bacon. This will help to ensure that the bacon is evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Spread the bacon out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the bacon cooks evenly.
- Bake the bacon at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to ensure that the bacon is crispy and not chewy.
- Let the bacon cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent the bacon from becoming sticky.
Conclusion:
Candied bacon and curry cashew mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties or gatherings. It is also a great way to use up leftover bacon. If you are looking for a sweet and savory snack that is sure to please everyone, then this recipe is for you!
