For a while now, I've had this itch to coat some bacon in brown sugar and fry it. I finally got around to doing it tonight, and it's one of the most amazing things I've had in a while.

The process was pretty simple:

• Cut a pack of bacon in half length-wise
• Throw 4 of the half-strips in a gallon Ziplock bag with about 1/4 cup of sugar
• Close the Ziplock, making sure to leave some air
• Toss for about 5 minutes, making sure each strip gets a "healthy" coating
• Throw the coated strips in a frying pan on medium heat, adding about 1/4 cup of water
• Cook uncovered, making sure to flip the bacon every once in a while
• When the bacon has curled to a normal "cooked" shape, pull it out of the pan and set it on a paper plate or cooling rack to, well, cool!

How you use the candied bacon is up to you. I personally just ate it straight off the plate. Be careful with this though; it's really easy to eat too much of it, which can really give your cholesterol a kick.
