Thick Cut Bacon

Slather with some real Maple syrup


Generously coat with brown sugar


400' oven, caramelize the sugar and stiffen the bacon, flip and repeat sugar, cook till done


Cool to let glaze set

Some of these were plain glaze

Some got a dusting of black and cayenne pepper

(Note: a little pepper goes a long ways, everybody seemed to preferred it without heat.

Myself included and I'm a certified ChileHead.)


Some got Ghiradellis Dark Chocolate and crushed pecans

(Note: next time use milk chocolate, the dark was over powering)


Money Shot

They look fantastic. I never even gave chocolate a thought. Will definitely do a batch this weekend.
One thing I do with mine is I'll put my pork rub on the bacon and then put in smoker at 250-275. Adds a little more smoke flavor, BBQ flavor and renders some fat out. After that it's to the grill (on a rack over a pan) and glaze as you do.
Great pics and definitely doing the chocolate and nut thing
 
Dang, you're gonna give my cardiologist's whole family 

all new Mercedes.

Man, that looks goooooood.

I just made some really great bacon.

I know where some of that's going this weekend.

Don't know how you dreamed this one up.

But it's darned sure worth.

I tried some chocolate dipped maple deepfryed thick cut bacon at the Minnesota state fair where almost everything is presented on a stick. It was really good and I'll bet yours is just as good. They did dip in milk chocolate.
Randy,

Randy,
It was very yummy, thanks.
 
Yummm I had a friend and his wife do something similar last year, They experimented onus at work, made 6 varieties, the chocolate one was the favorite. Seeing this is making me think about doing that for a few recipes I am contemplating. Good job Chile....
