Sunnys Candy Bar And Bacon Rolls Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY AND CHEESY STUFFED SLIDER BAKE-TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven or a grill for indirect cooking to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the rolls: Place the rolls on a nonstick-foil-lined baking sheet. With a serrated paring knife, carve out a circle on the top of each, cutting down about 1 inch deep. (You need to keep the bottom sturdy, so you don't want to cut all the way to the bottom. Get your fingers in there and pull out the plug of bread, leaving room for your filling. Save the excess bread for breadcrumbs!)
• For the buffalo chicken sliders: Mix the chicken, blue cheese, 1 1/2 cups wing sauce or to taste and 1/2 cup of the shredded Italian cheese blend in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the Italian meatball sub sliders: Assemble 12 sliders by spooning into the cavity of each: 1 tablespoon marinara sauce followed by 1 tablespoon mozzarella, then a meatball, then a teaspoon of marinara. Sprinkle the tops of the meatball sliders with the Parmesan.
• For the buffalo chicken sliders: Assemble the remaining 12 sliders by stuffing 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into each cavity. Top with the remaining shredded Italian cheese blend.
• Bake the sliders in the oven or over indirect heat until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden, about 25 minutes.

SUNNY'S CANDY BAR PANCAKES WITH SCARY BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
• Mix the wet ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk the milk, oil and egg together.
• Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix gently until combined with a wooden spoon. Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Make the pancakes: On a griddle or in a large pan, add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt on low heat. Then raise the heat to medium-high. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out the pancake batter and pour onto the prepared griddle/pan. Allow to set a bit on the bottom, and then sprinkle crushed candy bar bits over the top. When bubbles begin to appear around the edge and center, flip the pancake and cook until a peek underneath reveals a golden bottom. Repeat in batches using more butter, if needed, until all done. (Keep the pancakes warm in a 100 degree oven on a baking sheet.) Serve with Scary Blueberry Syrup.
• Make the scary blueberry syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries, 1 cup water, sugar, lemon zest and juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break up blueberries as they cook. Once reduced and thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Taste and add just a pinch of salt to season. Serve warm.

BACON BARK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To prepare the nuts: In a small bowl, add the pecans, walnuts, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, paprika and a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Stir until everything is coated and set aside.
• To prepare the bacon: In another small bowl, add the brown sugar, paprika, bacon, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Spread out on a nonstick baking sheet and cook until the bacon is almost done and the sugars are bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the nut mixture on to the sheet. Stir and fold with a spatula and spread everything out on the sheet again. Place back in the oven for 15 more minutes, stirring and spreading again halfway through. Serve warm, or allow to cool and break apart.

SUNNY'S TWISTED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Take each strip of bacon and twist it along the length being careful to not stretch, just twist. Place the twisted strip on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the rest, nestling them close together on the baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, thyme, dry mustard, paprika, garlic powder and plenty of black pepper. Mix with a fork until combined.
• Sprinkle the sugar mixture all over the bacon. Bake for about 40 minutes. The twists will be slightly flimsy. Let the bacon cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes, loosening every 10 minutes so they don't stick to the baking sheet. They will firm up once cooled down.

SUNNY'S BACON, EGG AND CHEESE SLIDER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the rolls: Place the rolls on a nonstick-foil-lined baking sheet or in a baking dish with the sides and bottom coated with cooking spray. With a serrated paring knife, carve out a wide circle on the top of each, cutting down and leaving about 1/2-inch of bread at the bottom. (You need to keep the bottom sturdy, so you don't want to cut all the way to the bottom.) Get your fingers in there and pull out the plug of bread. Press down the bottom with your fingers, leaving room for your filling.
• For the filling: Evenly divide the bacon into the recesses in the bread. In a medium bowl, mix the nacho cheese sauce with the Cheddar-jack blend. Divide evenly and spoon or pipe into each recess above the bacon. Crack an egg into each cavity.
• For the topping: Brush the tops of the rolls with the butter, then sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning and Parmesan.
• Bake until the eggs are done and the rolls are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut apart and serve with a shake of hot sauce.

BACON CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Separate crescent dough into eight triangles. Set aside 1 tablespoon of bacon. Sprinkle onion powder and remaining bacon over triangles; roll up and place point side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with reserved bacon. , Bake at 375° until golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled rolls in sealable freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each roll on high until heated through, 10-15 seconds.
