I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but they were amazing! The bacon was crispy and the candied coating was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The key is to use good quality bacon and to cook it slowly so that it gets nice and crispy.
