Smoked Candied Bacon

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F.

Step 2

Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a flat cooking rack on top of the baking sheet and lay the bacon down in a single layer on the rack.

Step 3

Brush the top side of the bacon with maple syrup, then sprinkle each piece with some of the brown sugar and the sweet rub.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet in the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 12-15 minutes or until the fat has started to render, the sugar has mostly melted, and the edges have started to wrinkle.

Step 5

Flip the bacon over and brush the top with maple syrup, and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar and sweet rub.

Step 6

Close the lid and smoke for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked to your liking.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy!
