Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for BACON CRACK

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top.
Arrange thick-cut bacon slices on the wire rack without overlapping. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and vanilla extract. Stir for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Spread crumbled bacon in the dish and pour caramel sauce over it evenly.
Bake again for 10-15 minutes until caramel is bubbly and golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Cool for 10 minutes in the baking dish, then break into pieces by hand and serve on a platter.
