This typically savory food gets a sweet treatment: it’s coated in cocoa powder and brown sugar and baked until crispy and caramelized. Eat it as a snack or throw it into your next batch of cookie batter or caramel corn—you’ll never look at bacon the same way again.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 4

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; set an ovenproof wire baking rack on top of foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together brown sugar and cocoa powder until evenly distributed. Press bacon
