Cocoa Bacon Crisp


Prep Time: twenty minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: one hour, five minutes

Ingredients:

3/4 cup brown sugar
two teaspoons dark cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground chipolata Chile pepper or to taste, optional
two pounds lean, thick-cut bacon

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place baking racks inside rimmed cookie sheets lined with foil.

Whisk together brown sugar, cocoa powder, & chipolata Chile pepper until well-combined. Pour in to a shallow plate.

Cut the bacon in to thirds cross-wise. Press side of each bacon piece in to the brown sugar mixture to coat with a narrow layer of the spiced sugar, brushing off any excess. Arrange on racks in prepared baking pans, sugared-side up, close together but not touching.

Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until dark brown but not burnt. Keep an eye on the bacon since oven temperatures vary. Let icy before serving.

Yield: about 64 pieces
