Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb hickory or applewood smoked bacon (black pepper bacon is also good)
1/2 c brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Cut length of bacon in half. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in plastic bag. Dip bacon in sugar mixture and twist. Place on parchment or foil lined baking sheet.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until crisp.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bacon: Use thick-cut bacon for a chewier texture and more pronounced flavor.
  • Cook the Bacon Properly: Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not burnt. This will ensure that the bacon twists are flavorful and hold their shape.
  • Use a Good Quality Caramel Sauce: The caramel sauce is what will give the bacon twists their signature flavor, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. You can make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
  • Be Careful When Dipping the Bacon Twists: The caramel sauce can be very hot, so be careful when dipping the bacon twists. You don't want to burn yourself!
  • Let the Bacon Twists Cool: Once the bacon twists are dipped in the caramel sauce, let them cool slightly before eating. This will help the caramel sauce to set and prevent it from dripping all over.

Conclusion:

Caramelized bacon twists are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty treats at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and savory snack, give caramelized bacon twists a try.
