Bacon and brown sugar!
I can slave over a brisket or pulled pork and my friends will be thankful for a taste. But if you ask many of them what one item they’d me want to make for them the answer is Pig Candy. Who would have thought that combining bacon with brown sugar and a little chipotle powder would be such a hit.
Start with a good amount of brown sugar and chipotle powder to taste. Mix it up good, you don't want a clump of chipotle powder to hit your tongue.
I prefer good thick bacon. The thinner stuff works good to, but it cooks really fast so watch it.
Lay your bacon out on the grate
Put a good coating of the brown sugar/chipotle mixture. Cook at your desire temperature until it starts to get a little crisp. I use 245 degrees with apple wood.
When it starts to crisp up I like to turn it over and give it another dose of the sugar mixture.
Let it cool and enjoy!

That a boy Larry!!! I would kill for some of that right now.
Just finished having some awesome sturgeon w/lemon and herbs last night on the Traeger, but I’m thinking this is definitely next. I can taste it already.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I’m just glad i’m a direct benefactor; thanks, Larry.
