Cooking Tips

• Use thick-cut bacon for best results, as it will become crispy and hold up well to the caramelization.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder to the sugar mixture.
• Make sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bacon from sticking.

Storage and Serving

• Store the pig candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Serve the pig candy as a snack or appetizer, or use it as a topping for burgers, salads, or desserts.
• For a fun twist, crumble the pig candy and sprinkle it over ice cream or chocolate desserts.
