Recipe Tips

You can use any type of bacon for this recipe.

Mixing the brown sugar with the spices will make dipping easier. 

Parchment paper prevents the brown sugar from making your baking sheet super sticky.

You can skip the brown sugar if you want to keep to keep this recipe low-carb.

Cesar, or ranch dressing makes a good keto or low-carb dipping sauce.
