Brown Sugar Candied Bacon Recipe

Brown Sugar Candied Bacon Recipe

Pin to Pinterest

This brown sugar candied bacon recipe is delicious! Bacon on it’s own is great but, this recipe takes it up a notch. The flavor combination of the salty bacon, warmly sweet from the brown sugar and a kick of spicy chili powder and your taste buds will be thrilled! Try this candied bacon on your favorite sandwich, burger or crumble in your salad. For a little something different when cooking pancakes, crumble cooked bacon in the batter. Yum!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon
  • 1.5 cups brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons spicy chili powder

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place a rack over the top.
  3. Mix the brown sugar and chili powder together in a large bowl
  4. Dredge the bacon in the sugar mixture. Press the sugar into the bacon so that you get a nice, thick coating on both sides.
  5. Lay the bacon in a single layer on your prepared pan. Try not to let the sides touch, which prevents the pieces from sticking together.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes and remove from the oven.
  7. Carefully flip the bacon over and sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar.
  8. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the bacon is dark brown but not burnt.
  9. As soon as the bacon comes out of the oven, remove it from the pan and lay in on brown paper bags to drain. It will stick to paper towels. Alternately, you could lay it on another clean rack and allow the excess grease to drain off that way.
  10. The bacon will firm up quickly as the sugar cools and gets crispy.

Notes:

I use a smoked chili powder, which has a medium heat level and a nice hint of smokiness. That said, any chili powder will work fine, and the heat is optional. If you’re making this for kids, you might want to leave the heat out all together.

You could play around with different spices to make this even more fun!

If you remove the bacon from the oven too soon, it will be chewy and not crisp, so be sure to let it get good and brown. That said, watch it closely once you flip it. All ovens are different and yours might not take as long.

I’ve found the best way to clean the rack is to soak it in boiling water. I actually start a pot when I put the last batch of bacon in, so clean up is quick and easy while the bacon cools.

Yields about 8 thick slices.

Halloween OREO Bat Truffles

Pin to Pinterest

How fun are these OREO Bat Truffles? I can’t wait to have a tray full of these bats, ready to take flight into the kiddos Trick-or-Treat bags. Why not wrap them up in a cellophane bag to take to the classroom party. What a fun treat! They are much easier than you think as they come with a FREE Bat Wing Stencil to outline your bat wings just right! Do you have crafty kids? They would go batty to help you make these and get into the spooky spirit!

Ingredients:

  • 1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 package of OREOs
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • 12 oz. Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Edible eyes

Additional materials: Parchment paper, Ziploc bags, Tape, Scissors and FREE Bat Wing Stencil.

Directions:

  1. Process the OREOs (entire cookie including filling) in a food processor or blender. Pulse until crumbs are formed.
  2. Using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the Oreo crumbs with cream cheese until combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
  3. Using your hands, roll into 20-25 balls. Place balls on a parchment paper lined backing sheet or a silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Freeze the truffles for at least 30 minutes. If they are not cold and solid, the melted chocolate will not coat the balls properly.
  4. While the truffles are freezing, place the Bat Wing Stencil under a piece of parchment paper on a solid surface–taping it down to keep it in place.
  5. Melt ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips as directed on packaging.
  6. Place melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag and use scissors to snip off one corner. Pipe the melted chocolate along the outside of each bat wing outline and completely fill in with chocolate. Place chocolate wings in freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
  7. Once the bat wings have hardened – place edible eyes, mini chocolate chips, frozen Oreo truffles and bat wings in one location, so they are quickly available for the next step.
  8. Melt remaining semi-sweet chocolate chips as directed on packaging.
  9. Working with one truffle at a time, completely coat the outside of each ball. To do this, simply drop each truffle into the chocolate, swirl it around with a fork and then pick it up using the fork’s prongs. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to allow the excess coating to drip off, and place on lined baking sheet. Working quickly while the coating is still wet, dip a bat wing interior edge into chocolate and press gently into the side of the truffle until it is secure. Do the same with the second bat wing. Press two eyes into the front of the truffle and two mini chocolate chips onto the top. Repeat this process until all truffles are used.
  10. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 10 minutes so the chocolate sets. Truffles must always be chilled and will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Yields: 20-25 truffles

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Edible OREO Acorns

Pin to Pinterest

We think these OREO Acorns will be a hit with your family this Fall! Not only are they delicious but, they’re fun to make! The kids will love to help with every step of this recipe. Did you know that Oreos took their flavors to a whole new level and added peanut butter? YUM! They may look intricate to make but, in just a few simple steps you will have a bowl of OREO acorns to nibble. Happy Fall!

Ingredients:

  • 1 package peanut butter Oreos
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz Chocolate chips or Chocolate Candiquick chips
  • 6 oz Butterscotch or Peanut Butter chips
  • Brown Sprinkles
  • Pretzel Sticks

Directions:

  1. Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature
  2. Put Oreos in the food processor and pulse until you have crumbs. You may need to split this into two batches depending on the size of your food processor.
  3. Once the cream cheese is softened, mix the Oreos and cream cheese together until well blended.
  4. Use a heaping tablespoon of the mixture to form into acorn shapes. To form, roll into an elongated ball, then pinch one end to make it slightly tapered. Place the acorns on a baking sheet with wax paper and place them in the freezer for 1 hour.
  5. After the acorns are hard, melt the chocolate. Dip each acorn into the chocolate with a fork. Tap the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate – then place back on parchment paper. Continue until all acorns are dipped, and then allow them to come to room temperature to harden.
  6. Once the chocolate covered acorns are hardened, melt the butterscotch chips and pour brown sprinkles into a separate bowl.
  7. Dip the tops of each chocolate covered acorn into the butterscotch – then immediately dip into the sprinkles.
  8. Cut ½ inch pieces of the pretzel sticks. Dip the edge of each pretzel stick into the butterscotch and press into the top of each acorn. Return to baking sheet to allow the pretzels to set before serving.
