Bacon Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb bacon
    2 cups brown sugar
    1 -2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
Preparation
    Put bacon side by side on foil.
    Evenly spread out the brown sugar over the bacon untill you can barley see the bacon. More sugar may be needed.
    Next sprinkle the red pepper flakes out evenly over the bacon and sugar.
    Place each strip of bacon on the smoker and cook at 225 - 250 for 1.5 to 2 hours or untill all sugar is melted and turned clear and bacon is to desired doneness. Do NOT place foil with the bacon on the smoker. Bacon greese will ruin this if its not able to cook off. When done, CAREFULLY remove Pig Candy and let cool for a few minutes than enjoy.
    I have also added chopped pecans instead of the red pepper flakes -- still very tastey!
