TIPS FOR THE BEST CANDIED BACON:

• Choose thick-cut Bacon:  Thick-cut bacon works best for candying as it holds up well to the caramelization process.    
• Adjust the Heat:  If you prefer a spicier kick, add a little cayenne pepper to the brown sugar.  
• Fresh Ingredients:  Use the freshest lettuce and ripest tomatoes for the best flavor.  
• Customize your Sandwich:  Add avocado, pickles, or even a fried egg to make your BLT extra special.
