There's leftover bacon in the fridge, and I was thinking about a "recipe" I had come across and never have made.  It's for bacon with brown sugar to be served as a cocktail tidbit.  It sounds like a decadent treat for New Year's Eve, so I'll give it a try tomorrow. 

Basically, you arrange a single layer of bacon that you've lightly coated with brown sugar on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or so at 350 degrees.  Let cool on a rack or paper towels.

I looked for the original article and found it.  I had forgotten the part about crumbling the bacon into a bowl of spiced nuts--that sounds good too.

Here's the original article:
