Bacon Wrapped Candy Bars Recipes

SUNNY'S CANDY BAR AND BACON ROLLS

Steps:

• For the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured flat surface, roll out the dough and separate it into 4 rectangular parts, leaving 2 triangles attached for each of the 4 sections. Each section should appear to be a rectangle with a perforated dividing line through its center diagonally. Carefully pinch together the 2 triangles along this line to close the gaps and seal it to make it 1 piece. Cut each piece in half to make 2 squares. Repeat for each and place on a nonstick baking sheet with sides. There should be 8 squares to fill.
• Combine the candy bars and bacon in a medium bowl. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the candy mixture in a row along the length of the prepared dough in the center, leaving enough room to pull the uncovered dough on the edges up and over the pile of filling.
• For the topping: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and just enough water to make it loose like glue, yes glue. Brush this over the top of each roll and sprinkle with sugar and a pinch of flake salt.
• Bake until golden on top, 16 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
• Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

COOKIE-WRAPPED CANDY BARS ON A STICK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Insert wooden stick into each candy bar.
• Remove cookie dough from wrapper; cut into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into ball; flatten each ball slightly in hand. Place candy bar in center of flattened dough. Wrap dough around candy, covering and sealing completely. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet, overlapping wooden sticks as needed.
• Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets; place on wire racks. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled. (Do not pick up cookies using stick until completely cooled.)

• Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.
• Coat each side of the skewered bacon with the chocolate mixture using a pastry brush. Place coated bacon on a sheet of waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
