Kiss & Slap Bacon

Nov 22

Some call it “Candied Bacon” but I add our own twist on it. This sweet & savory treat with a bit of a slap is quite fantastic. The How-To will come later but here is what you need for our version of this popular treat:

What you need:

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of maple syrup

1 tsp of hot sauce

1 tsp of Willy B’s Kiss & Slap seasoning

1 lb of thick cut bacon

grill or smoker

How to Make the Magical Treat

Pre-heat your Smoker (or grill) to 300 degrees
Lay out the bacon on a cookie sheet
Mix your ingredients together to create a paste (add a little maple syrup to thin out the mixture if it is too thick)
Brush the mixture onto the bacon, flip and coat the other side. Sprinkle a light amount of Kiss & Slap on the bacon.
Transfer bacon to the smoker (or grill but be sure to be off of direct heat)
Cook the bacon and every 7 minutes flip the bacon and re-coat the bacon until it becomes firm. Mine cooks for approx 35 min
Don’t let it get too crispy!
Transfer the bacon to a cooling tray
Let all of the goodness set in for about 5 min, then taste and enjoy.

WARNING: if you don’t be careful, you will finish it all in one setting. ;)
