Sweet and crunchy candied brown sugar bacon and all natural Old Home crunchy peanut butter with honey.

‍

There is something about the combination of sweet and salty candied bacon and yummy peanut butter. It just makes your mouth water. I love this preparation because the bread gets crispy while the inside is warm and gooey with peanut butter and chewy bacon. It is packed with flavor and brings me back to my childhood with a warm cozy feeling in my tummy.

The Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lay out thick cut bacon on a rack with a lined sheet pan underneath. Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar. Do not be shy with the sugar, you want to pile it up a little. Next sprinkle with black pepper and then bake in the oven until crispy. Take out of the oven when cooked and let cool.

Cut the baguette into 5 inch lengths and then cut each piece in half. Spread Old Home all natural peanut butter on one side and top with 4 slices of candied bacon. Drizzle with honey and put the two sides together. Place the sandwich on a panini maker and close the lid. Let cook for approximately 4 minutes. Or until crispy and melty inside.

Recipe Tips:

• If you do not have a panini press, you can use a sauté pan but you will add butter to the ingredients. Place the sandwich in a sauté pan with melted butter and then place another pan on top to press it down.
• If you find the sandwich needs something to loosen up the peanut butter, you can spread a small smear of mayonnaise on one side of the bread on the inside. It might sound weird but my mother used to do it.

‍

Make Ahead:

• The bacon can be cooked ahead and the sandwiches put together. Then hold them and press before eating.

‍

‍

Storing Tips:

• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
