Pig candy is a dessert made by taking thick strips of smoked bacon and pecans and coating them in caramel or another type of sugar, notably brown sugar.[1][2][3] Cayenne pepper[4] can be added and it can be dipped in chocolate.[5] This dish is then served warm or cold and is popular in the southern United States,[6] and it has also become very popular in Washington D.C.[3] It is similar to glazed bacon, featured on Martha Stewart Living.[7]
