    Bacon Candy

    1/2 lb bacon (8 slices)
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

    Heat oven to 350F.
    Line cookie sheet with foil.
    Place wire rack on foil.
    Arrange bacon in single layer on rack.
    Bake 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together brown sugar and pecans.
    Turn bacon over; sprinkle with brown sugar mixture.
    Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until golden brown.
    Remove from rack.
    Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

    (Light or dark brown sugar can be used in this recipe. The dark brown sugar will give the bacon a deeper, more caramelized flavor)
