Candied Bacon (pig Candy)

"A special touch for your holiday brunch, a delicious sweet-and-savory appetizer, or a fun dessert, this quick Candied Bacon is the easiest treat you'll enjoy all season! You only need 2 ingredients and about 5 minutes to prep a batch of the brown sugar-coated, crispy bacon that bakes in the oven -- completely hands-off! At its most basic, candied bacon (or "pig candy") is a dessert, appetizer, or side dish made by coating thick strips of smoked bacon with sugar. Brown sugar is the most popular sweetener used to "candy" the bacon, but some recipes call for maple syrup, granulated sugar or caramel instead. Additional ingredients such as chopped pecans, cayenne pepper, black pepper, or a coating of chocolate are sometimes included, too. The candied bacon can be served warm or at room temperature, and has become a really popular treat in the Southern United States. "
