Sweet Piggies


Recipe: Sweet Piggies

Summary: “Perhaps the sweetest piggy I have ever tasted.”

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound thinly sliced bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a broiler pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and position broiler rack on top of pan. Brush the rack with the vegetable oil.
  2. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and garlic powder in a bowl, stirring to mix well. Coat each side of bacon firmly into the spiced sugar. Arrange the slices of bacon on top of the broiler rack in a single layer.
  3. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the sugar is bubbly, 16-18 minutes or until bacon is very dark and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then to a plate or serving dish to cool. (Can be made several hours ahead) Serve warm or at room temperature.

    I made these last year for a superbowl party. They went like hotcakes! Some of the people there gave them a new name….Crack Piggies….because they’re so addictive! Will definitely make these again!
