Hazelnut Spread Covered Peppered Bacon Recipe – Bacon Candy

Preheat your oven to 375˚F, 2. Arrange your strips of bacon on a baking pan that’s been sprayed with a bit of cooking spray.

Throw these in the oven and set your timer for 8 minutes.

Mix together your cayenne pepper, black pepper and brown sugar.

When your 8 minute timer goes off, flip over your bacon and sprinkle your spice mixture over each one of the strips. Be as liberal or as light handed as you want. I recommend liberty.

Set your timer for 8 minutes again, and throw the bacon back in the oven.

Ding! Bacon’s done. Put it on a rack to cool.

While the bacon is cooling, take your hazelnut spread and microwave it for 15 seconds to get it soft and workable.

. Brush or spread the hazelnut spread all over the fully cooled and crispy bacon. I used a silicone brush and I really think that’s the best tool for the job.

. Throw these bad boys in the freezer to let the hazelnut spread harden.

. Plate and sprinkle with coarse salt THANK YOU PAULA!!
