Ingredients
-
1 cup brown sugar, or more to taste
-
3 tablespoons red chili powder
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
-
1 (12 ounce) package thinly sliced bacon
-
1 (15 ounce) package short pretzel rods
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack.
-
Mix brown sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Dredge both sides of each bacon slice in the brown sugar mixture. Wrap a coated bacon slice around each pretzel rod, leaving a small space at the bottom of pretzel uncovered for easy handling. Arrange wrapped pretzels on the wire rack atop the baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
Break pretzel rods in half and cut bacon slices in half for appetizer bites if desired.
By placing the bacon on top of a rack, the renderings (fat/grease) will drop into the baking sheet, leaving the bacon to crisp and your oven clean. If making more than 1 batch on same sheet, change foil after 2nd batch to prevent burning of caramel/grease collection.
Easy clean-up: Your baking sheet will come out of the oven looking like a candy coated mess. Don't worry, place the pan in hot water and the caramel-bacon residue will dissolve.
