Smoked Candied Bacon – 4 Styles

I’m telling you, Smoked Candied Bacon otherwise known as Millionaire bacon or Pig Candy is positively addictive. Salty, sweet and crispy, I don’t think there’s a better combination in this world to satisfy your cravings.

The Nutty and Fruity flavors of the Cuisinart BBQ Premium Cherry Rum BBQ smoking pellets make the perfect choice for this recipe. The Pellets are crafted from Cherry woods and real aged Rum barrels which in addition to real Maple syrup add an extra sweet flavor. We also used The Woodcreek 4-in-1 Pellet Grill by Cuisinart for this cook. My kids loved to watch the bacon getting its crispiness by the viewing window.

Trust me, these creative candied bacon recipes are a match made in heaven. Enjoy!
