About

Ah, the decadence, the indulgence, the luxury of fresh candied bacon. Sweet 'n Spicy Bacon takes that opulence to a whole other level, adding a pinch of cayenne pepper and curry powder for a tantalizing heat that makes the sweetness of the maple syrup and the meatiness of the bacon even more special. Once you crunch into Sweet 'n Spicy Bacon, nothing else will feel quite so rewarding as the fattiness and aroma of this treat. Knowing this takes less than half an hour to make will only add to the temptation to keep making it, because no matter how much you make, it will always get eaten!
