Coffee-Candied Bacon

As if bacon wasn’t already magical enough, this coffee-candied bacon recipe completely changes the game. It’s amazing what a hot oven, a generous coating of brown sugar, and a spicy coffee rub can do to bacon. The result is irresistible—somewhere between a candy and the most deliciously savory snack in the world. The coffee might seem like an unusual addition, but it adds the perfect amount of bitterness to offset the sweetness and fat. It’s a surprisingly versatile recipe—try in tacos, alongside rice and beans, or shredded in a chicken salad.
