having read the reviews saying the bark was too wet, i made the following adjustments: i trimmed some of the fat off the bacon, and made the pieces very small, about 1/8 - 1/4" slices. i followed the recipe, but at the end, i turned the oven up to 400 degrees for 4" or so until everything bubbled up and caramelized quickly. if you do this, watch it carefully so it doesn't burn! after taking it out of the oven, i stirred and scraped the mixture onto a foil sheet, breaking up the pieces so they cooled quickly. i tossed in a handful of dried cranberries for color and flavor at this point. it all dried up nicely, with some appetizing clumps throughout. my family (50, 48, 13 and 7 yrs old enjoyed eating the warm concoction a few minutes later. chopped dates might be a nice addition, too. cleaning your pan while it's warm will make cleanup easier. i made mine in a nonstick jellyroll pan, and dawn power dissolver spray worked great.

Love the flavor, but mine seemed a little greasy and not hard. I even added cook time. I used thick cut bacon maybe that was the reason. I think I will drain the fat off the bacon after it cooks before I add the nuts next time. Great idea and did eat all of it but I wanted to give it as a gift and I thought it would look greasy in a jar so I didn't gift it.

Thank you Sunny, this was so yummy. By mixing the seasonings and zest with the brown sugar it made it easy to sprinkle over the bacon. I used parchment paper on my pan and after it cooled it peeled right off the paper, no mess, no fuss!

This dish was amazing and sinful! It was gone in 5 minutes flat. Lesson learned, take it out of the pan while hot or bake it on parchment paper otherwise you will not be able to get it out of the pan.

This is tasty but it needs work or I did something wrong. It didn't harden as expected and remained very sticky in most parts. I will try this again but will be doing some adjustments. I would like it to be more like peanut brittle.

Loved it so much at Thanksgiving that we are making it again for a Christmas party. You'll eat the crumbs, it is so good.

Very good. Something different to snack on. A little more bacon would be OK also.

Great balance of sweet and spicy - the Hungarian paprika provided the perfect amount of heat.
