Candied Bacon #recipe @vmburns

 VMBURNS: Whenever I have a road trip, I like to start my day with a trip to Dunkin' Donuts. A large coffee, an order of Snackin' Bacon, and a glazed donut are my go to items. Snackin' Bacon is bacon which is both sweet and spicy. Today, I decided to skip the expensive coffee and try to make it myself. This recipe is simple and if you don't like the heat, then reduce or completely eliminate the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. The times are also flexible. I like my bacon crispy, but if you like yours less done, then adjust accordingly. 

CANDIED BACON 

 

INGREDIENTS 

• 8 Slices Bacon
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
• 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1/4 Tablespoon Crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)

• INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Line a rimmed backing sheet with aluminum foil and parchment paper. Then, spray an oven rack with pam and place in the baking sheet.
3. Place the bacon on the wire rack.
   
4. Mix the other ingredients in a bowl and sprinkle 2/3 onto the bacon and cook for 15 minutes.
   
5. Turn the bacon over and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture onto the bacon and return to the oven for approximately 5 minutes.
   
   
   
6. Remove the bacon and allow it to cool for 15 minutes to give the caramelized sugar time to harden.

• On the shores of Lake Michigan, influencer Maddy Montgomery has turned the bakery she inherited from her great aunt Octavia into a destination. There’s just one thing she won’t post: the body in the freezer . . .
• 
  
• Thanks to Maddy’s social media savvy, Baby Cakes Bakery is becoming a huge success—so much so that she’s attracted the attention of her former nemesis, the fiancé-stealing Brandy Denton. When Brandy blows into New Bison like an ill wind and disrupts a vlog Maddy’s filming, their argument goes viral. After Brandy’s body is found in the freezer at Baby Cakes, Maddy instantly goes from viral sensation to murder suspect.
• 
  
• AS Maddy is still reeling from the murder, a stranger shows up in the bakery claiming to have been a friend of Octavia. He believes Maddy is in danger. When a second body washes up on the lake shore, it seems clear someone’s out to kill to keep a secret—and it may have to do with her great aunt.

Maddy rallies her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars; Sheriff April Johnson; and her veterinarian boyfriend Michael—not to mention her English mastiff Baby—to do some digging and root out whoever’s behind the killings. . .
