Ingredients

1 cup packed dark brown sugar (spread out on a tray and allowed to dry for 1-2 hours before using)
1 tablespoon chili seasoning mix
2 lbs bacon (very thinly sliced)
40 -50 breadsticks (grissini)

Directions

1

After the brown sugar has air-dried a bit, add the chili seasoning and mix with fingers to blend well.
2

Take a bacon rasher and dip it into the sugar, pressing sugar in lightly on both sides.
3

Wrap, barber-pole style around a breadstick and place on a greased (I use olive oil) baking pan or cookie sheet.
4

Repeat with as many bacon rashers as you have left.
5

Preheat oven to 400F.
6

Roast until bacon is cooked and you can see sugar has caramelized- make sure it's cooked and not burnt- about 8-10 minutes.
7

Remove from oven and CAREFULLY pick up breadstick and place on a large platter to harden (the breadsticks will be soft at this point but will harden as they cool).
8

This must be done immediately, otherwise the caramelized sugar will set and it will be impossible to get your breadsticks out of the pan.
