This sweet and spicy Candied Peppered Bacon is insanely addictive!
OK, bacon lovers…prepare to have your tastebuds wowed! Bacon is one of those things that is incredible all by itself…with no alterations, additions or fancy techniques. However, if you do want to take it over the top, you can add this sweet and spicy glaze. 
The end result is crispy, glossy bacon that is sweet, savory and spicy all at the same time. I highly recommend making a BIG batch of this stuff…it gets devoured FAST!
