Bacon Candy

BadGirl

I am so very blessed
I ran in to Williams-Sonoma this morning to pick up some of their awesome malted waffle mix, and while there I found a cool cookbook designed for kids' use - recipes for young chefs using only 3 ingredients.

I opened up the book and it immediately landed on a recipe for "Bacon Candy". I wasted no time in buying the book.

Can't wait to try this recipe this weekend:

Bacon Candy:
8 thick slices of bacon, about 1/2 pound
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Carefully separate the slices of bacon. In a small bowl mix the five-spice powder and confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle each slice of bacon with the mixture to coat evenly. Place the bacon slices several inches apart on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully pour off the fat (do this with an adult). Bake for 10 minutes longer, or until crisp. Remove from teh oven and let site for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

I'll bet it's great with French Toast, waffles or any kind of egg dish.

My first thought was, "Ew, gross!" But bacon is pretty good with maple syrup on it...so maybe it's good.

Can I interest you in a package of burnt potato chips?

I went to the Amish Farmer's Market in 'naplis and picked up two packages. I have one left. :burp:

I also picked up two Pumpkin Rolls. I have 3/4 of a roll left. :doubleburp:

I've heard about "salt licks", but I don't think I'll be falling for this trick tonight.

Awwww geez just when I eliminated bacon from my diet, another excuse to include it! It did sound questionable at first but when you said "combined with french toast, waffles, eggs.. I'm thinking, hmmm now I know what's for dinner (and it's not beef!)

You have got to be kidding me " Williams & Sonoma"?? I just check thier web site. I guess I don't fit in the " form price range ". Way too pricey for my income.
( Oh, here is MMDAD's chance to bomard me with more red karma, but MM, I don't work at McDonalds and am not a welfare mom with multiple babies daddies. I just thought I would save you the time and trouble.)

You're right! The price range of their items is pretty high, so obviously, I don't buy too much from them either. :nomoney: But my one indulgence is ther malted waffle mix....so much better than any other on the market. :yum: Hungry Jack or any other off-the-shelf mix pales in comparison.

This stuff is so good that it almost makes getting up early worth it. :lol:

It is all about quality... yeah I can go buy a pan set from wal mart that is going to be all shiat 6 months from now and have to buy a new one or I can just shell out the money 1 time for a quality set from there.

Ps.... there is a William Sonoma outlet in Leesburg :biggrin: very good prices :yay:
