A festive recipe for smoked candied bacon, also known as Pig Candy. Super thin slices of bacon are slathered with maple syrup, seasoned with pork and poultry rub, and smoked low and slow until crispy, perfect for holiday treats.
1. Load up your smoker (e.g., Traeger Timberline 1300) with as much super thin bacon as possible.
2. Slather the bacon slices generously with maple syrup.
3. Sprinkle the bacon with pork and poultry rub.
4. Smoke at 225F low and slow until the bacon is crispy. (Optional: Layer with milk chocolate on a stick once cooled for a variation).
