Sweet, salty, crispy and chewy, the contrasting flavors and textures make it irresistible\u2014as if we couldn\u2019t get enough of bacon already! We\u2019ll show you how to make candied bacon the easy way, with minimal tools and just three ingredients.<\/p>\n<h2>What is candied bacon?<\/h2>\n<p>Candied bacon is bacon that has been cooked in the oven with brown sugar on top. The brown sugar turns to liquid in the oven, creating a crispy caramelized glaze over the bacon. Each piece of candied bacon is sweet yet salty, as well as crispy on the outside while chewy on the inside. Candy bacon is a fantastic snack all by itself but is also great in salads and sides, or as a garnish for soups and appetizers.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Candied Bacon<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2106874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Candied-Bacon_TOHD24_272568_SarahTramonte_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Rectangular plate with raw bacon strips next to a bowl of brown sugar, a small pitcher of hot sauce, and a wooden bowl of black pepper on a light gray surface.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bacon strips:<\/strong> Since bacon is the main component of this recipe, seek out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-bacon-brand\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-bacon-brand\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best bacon brand<\/a> at the store. You can pick whichever thickness you prefer. The thinner the bacon, the crispier it will be, while thicker varieties will be chewier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> Light brown sugar is best for a candied bacon recipe. Granulated sugar won\u2019t caramelize or add much flavor, and dark brown sugar will add too much of a molasses taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple syrup:<\/strong> While completely optional, maple syrup adds fantastic flavor and deepens the caramelization.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black pepper:<\/strong> It\u2019s important to use freshly cracked black pepper for that tiny kick of heat. It really offsets the candied bacon from becoming too sweet instead of sweet <em>and<\/em> savory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the pan<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it with cooking spray. Line the bacon strips on the foil in a single layer.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the toppings<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2106875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Candied-Bacon_TOHD24_272568_SarahTramonte_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strips of bacon are arranged in rows on a baking sheet lined with foil, seasoned with brown sugar and spices, ready for cooking.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup (if using) and the freshly cracked black pepper. Spoon the brown sugar mixture on each slice of bacon, using the back of a spoon to press the mixture evenly onto each slice.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Bake the candy bacon<\/h3>\n<p>Pop the tray into the oven and bake the bacon until it is golden and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and let the bacon cool at room temperature for five minutes. Remove the bacon from the tray and place it on a plate in a single layer to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Depending on the amount of fat and the thickness of the bacon, you may need to cook the bacon for more or less time.

Mix either into the brown sugar before it goes on the bacon, using only 1\/8 teaspoon so the seasoning doesn\u2019t overpower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Candied Bacon<\/h2>\n<p>Once the candy bacon has cooled completely to room temperature, stash it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It can be kept refrigerated for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make candied bacon ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely!

It can also be used as a garnish on soups like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/old-fashioned-split-pea-soup-with-ham-bone\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/old-fashioned-split-pea-soup-with-ham-bone\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">split pea soup<\/a>, potato chowder or a loaded chili. Toss candied bacon pieces into a salad, like Caesar salad, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/wedge-salad-with-blue-cheese-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/wedge-salad-with-blue-cheese-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">wedge salad<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/bacon-avocado-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/bacon-avocado-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">bacon avocado salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Candied bacon is also great as a garnish for appetizers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-deviled-eggs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-deviled-eggs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">deviled eggs<\/a> or our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/slow-cooker-cheddar-bacon-beer-dip\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/slow-cooker-cheddar-bacon-beer-dip\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">slow-cooker cheddar bacon beer cheese dip<\/a>.

Instead, when cooked on a baking sheet, the candied bacon becomes both chewy <em>and<\/em> crispy. The best kind!<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my candied bacon sticking to the sheet tray?<\/h3>\n<p>If you let the bacon cool for too long on the sheet tray, the sugar will harden like glue and it will become extremely difficult to remove the bacon from the baking sheet. Instead, let the candy bacon cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then use a fork to lift the pieces off and onto a plate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once you pull this
