Candied bacon is such a delicious treat! It’s delicious on its own, or you can use it as a perfect topper for breakfasts like pancakes.

This keto candied bacon is low carb, and diabetes-friendly.

Magic happens in the oven when the sweetener caramelizes in the oven, and then hardens onto the bacon when it cools. It makes for a delicious, crunchy bacon with a sweet shell.

But, the catch is that it’s sugar-free. It doesn’t mean that you can eat endless amounts of it, but it does mean that you won’t see a large blood sugar spike if you enjoy it. That’s a win!
