Caramelized Jalapeno Bacon Twists

Caramelized Jalapeno Bacon Twists is the ultimate appetizer for holiday or
company parties. This spicy Tex-Mex appetizer uses jalapeno-rubbed bacon to
provide heat and brown sugar and cinnamon to caramelize the bacon. It's an easy
3-ingredient recipe that's a delightful change of pace from regular party
appetizers. We served this appetizer at a high school graduation party and all
the students loved them.

🧂 Ingredients

1 lb. Hormel Black Label jalapeno-rubbed bacon

(I only had 12-ounces)
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1 Cut each bacon slice in half width-wise.
2 Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
3 Dip bacon strips in sugar mixture, then give the bacon strip a twist.
4 Place on a parchment paper-lined or foil-lined broiler pan.
5 Make a few slits in the parchment paper or foil so the bacon grease will drip to
the bottom.
6 Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until crisp.
