This was sooooo good! I got some fresh bacon from the meat block at the store this morning and wanted to do something different with it rather than frying it. I found this recipe and thought I would try it. I am glad I did!! I noticed that the bacon I got was a little dry so the sugar and cinnamon mixture was not sticking to it very well. I pated a little bit of water on each dtrip with my fingertips and then coated them with the mixture. That made the mixture stick myuch better. I put them on a foil lined cookie sheet because I do not have a broiler. That worked out perfect. I also baked them at 425 degrees instead of 450 degrees because I didn't want them too crispy. They were still VERY good. Next time I will bake them at the suggested 450 degrees tho to make them slightly more crispy. Thanks for a great recipe Lorac.

Very good, made this as an appetizer. I also added some cayenne pepper to a batch for a kick it went over very well. I love the salty with the sweet. Will make this again, maybe just for me no to sharing.
