This was such a hit! It was the first thing gone out of well over 40 appetizers at our Twelfth Night Party. I made 3 lbs and it was gobbled up. One guy said "As if bacon weren't good enough!" He met everyone at the door with a piece of bacon and told them to try it. Definitely the hit of the party. The foil is very important and be sure that you make it rise up the sides of the baking sheet. You end up with the burned praline mess in the bottom of your pan, so this makes it so much easier. Thanks so much for such a great recipe.

So good, it's bad! I think I'll halve the recipe next time and only make 1/2 pound. These are almost irresistible. Good cold too. Great on salads. Great "garnish" on veggies (broken up) or even London broil. Lip smackin' good!

These should be called Holiday Bacon Twists. These were so delicious and they reminded me of the holiday ham with the flavors. Very good but too decadent for everyday, these are probably best for a fancy holiday meal or a party appetizer. Thanks, I enjoyed every bite!!!

I just made these, they were a bit thick so 30 minutes wasn't quite enough, however I left them in a bit TOO long. they tasted OK, so I'm sure had I not messed up the timing they'd be delicious! They were also very ugly, I was the only one who ate them.

I really want to like these, but I guess candied bacon is just too much for us. Neither bf or I are huge fans, and I don't really taste any of the other spices. All I really taste is the sugar. I'd probably like it without the sugar though. Big points for the baking method--I don't cook bacon much, and I'd forgotten how much grease there is in bacon. Even after taking the alum foil out of the pan and throwing it away, I still had to wipe down the pan from all of the grease. However, much less messy and easier to clean up than on the stovetop. My bacon is fresh from the farm (literally--bf's parents gave us some from their butchering) and it was thicker, so it was a bit hard to twist, but I managed a few. Thanks for the recipe. I'll try it again without the sugar. Lesson learned that we don't like that combo!
