I am excited to share another one of my obsessions with you tonight! This summer, I went to Ignite which is an awesome restaurant in downtown Denver (highly recommended!) That is where my love affair with candied bacon began. I have always loved bacon, but this is by far the most wonderfully sinful of its forms.
The Recipe:

The Important Part:
Set your oven to about 250 degrees. Bake the bacon for about 3 hours, turning every 20 min or so until the lightest part is a deep caramel. You have to cook it low and slow so that the pepper and sugar and bacon grease have plenty of time to become best friends.
The Last Part:
Once it is cool, feed candied bacon to anyone you would like to fall in love with you. You can also keep it for yourself, but beware- that is how I ended up eating 12 pieces of bacon one night. True story.
Wow, wow and an amazing wow!
