Spicy Bacon Candy #ad

An incredibly easy and slightly addictive appetizer that’s perfect for game day, Spicy Bacon Candy. –

This is a compensated collaboration with Farmland® and Latina Bloggers Connect. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

It’s March Madness! Whoot! Whoot! When I was a kid, my mom would make us some crazy Mexican awesomeness to munch on during the game. Birria, carne asada, homemade salsas, etc. etc. etc. When my mom finally sat down to watch the game, she would fall asleep. LOL. Looking back on that time now as a mom, and I think my mom went way out of her way. I mean, I loved it, but I want time to enjoy the game too. That’s why I love my Spicy Bacon Candy.

Maybe it was all the years that I spent as a single mom, but I like it simple and fast. Facil y rapido. What says game watching more than BACON? I used some Farmland® Bacon for my Spicy Bacon Candy.

Farmland® take pride in their smoking technique. Their bacon is slow smoked over real hardwoods for maximum flavors. This Spicy Bacon Candy is smoky, spicy but sweet all in one bite. Can you say DELICIOUS? The best part is that it is incredibly easy to make.
