Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375° 2. Wash Brussels Sprouts. Cut the stem off, and then, cut into halves. Place your sprouts into a large bowl. 3. In a small bowl, soften your stick of butter in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add sugar and salt. Whisk ingredients together. 4. Add your whisked butter, sugar, and salt to your Brussels. Mix them around for two to three minutes to make sure the Brussels are evenly coated. This will aid the caramelization process. 5. *Optional, cover the baking pan with foil for an easier cleanup. Lay a roasting rack over the foil.* If you do not have a roasting rack, make sure you flip your sprouts every 10 minutes. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the outer leaves of the Brussels start to turn a golden brown. 6. While your sprouts are cooking, cook your bacon in a saute pan on medium-high heat. Once they are cooked through, remove bacon and place onto a paper towel to drain grease. 7. Once the bacon has cooled and harden, chop bacon into 1/4" pieces. 8. When Brussels are browned, removed from the oven and transfer to a baking dish. Add the butter/sugar/salt mix that has drained under the roasting rack back to the Brussels. Add in your chopped bacon. Put back into the oven for 10 minutes to soften your Brussels even more. 10. Enjoy the deliciousness.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Trim the bottom end of the Brussels sprouts, leaving the core intact, and pull off the outer dark leaves. Halve through the core. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. (This can be done a day ahead.)
- Meanwhile, put the oil and bacon in a very large skillet or stewpot, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown and the edges get crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, salt, pepper, and bacon. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any that are yellowing or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the brown, woody ends of the sprouts. You can also remove any loose outer leaves.
- Caramelize the Brussels sprouts slowly: Don't rush the caramelization process. Cook the sprouts over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly tender.
- Add the bacon and cider at the right time: Add the bacon to the pan when the Brussels sprouts are about halfway through cooking. This will give the bacon time to render its fat and flavor. Add the cider towards the end of cooking, so that it has time to reduce and thicken.
- Season the dish to taste: Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Caramelized Brussels sprouts with bacon and cider is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until caramelized and tender, and the bacon and cider add a savory and sweet flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
