📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the Candied Bacon
bacon6 slices
2
Preheat oven the 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top; coat with nonstick cooking spray.
3
Lay out the strips of bacon on top of the rack, perpendicular to the lines of the rack (otherwise they will fall through once they cook and shrink), making sure they don't overlap.

4
Sprinkle with brown sugar and a little pinch of black pepper (or even cayenne if you like a little kick!)
brown sugar2 tablespoons
5
Bake in the oven for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, checking after ⏱️ 18 minutes. (The bacon is done when the brown sugar is melted and the bacon is a deep brown color. The bacon will continue to crisp up once it cools, so don't worry if it doesn't look completely crispy in the oven.)

Slice all the marshmallows in half crosswise, then in half again, so you have 32 pieces (just eat the extra 2! HA. I have tried using mini marshmallows, but they're just too small.)
