Candied Bacon Sticks With Garlic Butter Drizzle

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Prepare 2 foil-lined baking sheets and 1 parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

2. 2

   Combine sugars in a medium bowl; spread evenly on one foil-lined baking sheet.

3. 3

   Wrap 1 slice of bacon around 1 breadstick, starting at one end and barely overlapping, to surround entire breadstick. Roll bacon breadstick in sugar mixture and place on other foil-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bacon and breadsticks.

4. 4

   Bake in preheated oven until bacon is crisp, about 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from oven and immediately transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Using a meat mallet, smash garlic cloves to a paste. Combine butter and smashed garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH to melt butter, about 1 minute, removing from microwave often to stir and prevent popping.

7. 7

   Using a pastry brush, brush butter mixture over cooked bacon sticks.

8. 8

   Bake in oven an additional 5-7 minutes to slightly cook garlic. Remove from oven and cool completely on baking sheets.
