YUMMY CARAMELIZED BACON

Makes 15 to 20 Hors D’oeuvres- great with a cocktail

– Ingredients & Directions

• ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
• ¼ cup Yummie Crummies
• ¼ cup Pecan Yummies
• 2 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy add more cayenne pepper)
• 2 TB pure maple syrup (ex. Back Creek Farm)
• ½ lb thick sliced applewood – smoked bacon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil (for easy cleaning) and place a wire rack on top. Spray with generous amount of PAM.

Combine brown sugar, Pecan Yummies, and Yummie Crummies in food processor and process until the pecans are finely ground. Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and pulse to combine.

Add the maple syrup and pulse to moisten crumbs.

Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise and line up the bacon the backing rack. With small spoon or spatula evenly spread the pecan mixture on each piece of bacon using all the mixture.

Bake 25-30 minutes, until topping is brown. If bacon is under baked the bacon won’t crisp during cooling.

While it’s hot, transfer the bacon to plate lined with paper towel and set aside to cool.
Serve at room temperature. YUM
