Pig Candy is thick-sliced bacon coated with brown sugar and a touch of cayenne pepper. Nom, nom, nom. This is a delicious appetizer!
Here’s a quick and easy way to make Pig Candy on a large Big Green Egg.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 C dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
10 strips of thick sliced bacon
Tater Tots wrapped in bacon to form a shot glass topped with cheese. YUM!

Thick cut bacon, cut in 1/2 or 1/3 slices.

I came across a recipe that was attributed to Martha Stewart. Here’s my take on Jacked-up Honey Maple Smoked Almonds. Continue reading
