Don’t be shy—get in there and make sure every inch of those bacon slices is covered.  ;</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://cookingintheyard.com/spicy-candied-bacon/">Spicy Candied Bacon recipe!</a></span></p><p>When you put the candy bacon twists on the wire rack, it&#8217;s important to leave a little space in between each one so that you get a good air flow and they cook evenly. ; When you&#8217;ve got them done, put them in the smoker for the cook! ;</p><p>The cooking time is around 20-30 minutes, but keep an eye on them. You’ll want to pull them out when the sugar has caramelized, and the candy bacon is crispy but not burnt. Every smoker is a little different, so the time may vary slightly.</p><div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img src="https://cookingintheyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_7678.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5256" style="width:240px"/></figure></div><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="lets-eat">Let&#8217;s Eat:</h2><p>Once they’re done, carefully remove the candy bacon twists from the smoker and place them on parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.  ;This varies from cooking bacon normally where I&#8217;d grab some paper towels to soak up the excess grease, but not needed with this recipe because it cooks on the cooling rack (wire rack). This is an important part of the process because not only does it stop the cooking process, but it also allows them to firm up and finish caramelizing.  ;</p><p>Let them rest for a few minutes to not burn your mouth.  ;The payoff of that first bite will be well worth the wait!<br></p><p>Serve this on a large plate or platter for a party or event, or right off the parchment paper if it’s just you eating them &#8211; either way, it’s a winner! ;They’re always the first thing to disappear at dinner parties, and I’ve even had friends ask for the recipe before they’ve finished their second bite!<br></p><p>These candy bacon twists have the perfect blend of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors that hit all the right notes. ;They make an amazing food option for breakfast, brunch, or even a late-night snack. If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle a bit of maple syrup on top for an extra touch of sweetness. The billionaire’s bacon flavor will blow you away.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://cookingintheyard.com/ps-candied-bacon/">Pumpkin Spice Candied Bacon recipe<br></a></span></p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="tips">Tips:</h2><p>If you’d like some extra heat, throw in some cayenne pepper or your favorite spicy ground pepper.  ;The balance of the sweet and savory candy bacon works very well with more heat if you can take it!<br>You’ll want to store any leftovers (if there are any!) ;in an airtight container. They’ll keep their crispy texture For a couple of days. But let&#8217;s be honest—they probably won’t last that long! I prefer regular to thick-cut bacon for this recipe.  ;The thick cut won&#8217;t stay twisted as well.<br></p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="final-thoughts">Final Thoughts</h2><p>Billionaire bacon twists are hands down the best thing you can do with raw bacon. They’re simple to prepare, taste incredible, and make you feel like a superstar in the kitchen.  ;You get a perfect balance of sweet and savory along with the tasty bites of crispy bacon.  ;This is one of those delicious recipes that you&#8217;ll want to print and put in your recipe book. </p><p>Whether it’s for a special brunch, a dinner party, or just because you love bacon, these twists are a must-try.

If you don’t have a smoker, can you do it in the oven or air fryer?
Yup! Oven will be at the same time/temp as the recipe – I haven’t tested the air fryer so I can’t give you time / temp there – but others have told me they’ve done it.
Gotta try this!!! Oven method will work for me.
I hope you love them – my family sure does!

Tried them they are awesome. Going to make again
Glad you tried them! Thanks for letting me know.
I saw these on Facebook and didn’t think they’d come out as good as they did. Awesome recipe
Thank you! They were loved by many.
Ooooo!! Definitely going to try these!!
You won’t be disappointed!
Bringing these with me to a dinner party next week. They look delicious
That’s going to be one happy dinner party!
Dang can’t wait to try these!
You’ll love them!
Their in the smoker now
Hope you love them!
They’re in the smoker now. Waiting the 20 or 30 min.
Enjoy!
These would make a great snack to just have around.
easiest way to eat a pound of bacon in 30 mins or less!
How do you store them? How Long? Are they still good at room temp?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge, can be reheated in the oven. They are still delicious at room temp however I wouldn’t leave them out for an extended period of time.
I’m not a big fan of pepper, red or black.
Can I cut it back?
You can
Love this
Thank you!
Yummy!!
They are so good! Thanks
I followed your recipe exactly cooked on my smoker at 400 degrees and it took 55 minutes. I had them on a 1/2 inch square warming grate placed on top of cookie sheet. Will definitely do it again.
Sounds like you nailed it. Glad you enjoyed!
