1/4 cup vegetable oil based spread (I used Smart Balance Buttery Spread)
1-2 Tbs Bourbon (More or less, depending on your tolerance)
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
With a hand mixer, beat butter spread and bourbon until fluffy (or as fluffy as buttery spread can get). Slowly mix in powdered sugar until you reach desired consistency. If it gets too stiff, you can add a little milk (or more bourbon!). Then, by hand, stir in your salt at the end.
Candied Bacon:
1 lb maple bacon
2 cups brown sugar
1 Tbs cinnamon
1 tsp kosher salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow dish, mix brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut bacon in half. Coat each piece of bacon with the sugar mixture. I cook mine on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet to allow the bacon to drip. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, flip, then bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Spicy Candied Bacon:
Same as above, but before I coat the bacon in sugar, I brush it with sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce).
