A sweet and savory rub makes these tasty twists of bacon deliciously different and worth the extra step to prepare. Cook a bit longer if you want them crispy. Glenda Evans Wittner - Joplin, MO

Very easy recipe that has wonderful taste. I made the mistake of trying to drain them on a paper towel and they stuck. Also, took longer to cook than recipe shows. Nice flavor and they disappeared really quickly when I took them into work.

OK so I haven't actually made it...how do you get the bacon to stay twisted? It just flops.

This sounds "Awesome". Haven't made them yet but plan definitely plan on it. However, not sure how you rated it as "healthy". Thank you!

If there were 10 stars instead of 5, I would fill them all in. Have made these twice, taken some to work and everyone who ate them wanted the recipe.

Yum! It's like bacon candy!

I have made these three times, and my Mom did a version of them that I thought was brilliant. She wrapped the bacon around wooden skewers. They were like bacon candy on sticks! Oh, yum. I love the cookie dough that another reviewer suggested. At a local diner I had waffles with bacon in them, and I'm thinking of adding these crushed up in waffles! No matter what, the foil is absolutely necessary for clean up! Whatever brand bacon you use, these are delicious!

Make these without the ground mustard and cayenne and then chop them up and add to chocolate chip cookie batter and bake the cookies like you would normally. Oh my goodness, you will not believe how good they are!!!

Made these this morning for a family brunch: rave reviews! Agree with everyone else, the foil in the pan is important, I forgot and now have a sticky mess to contend with. I served these with fruit salad and buttermilk pancakes - hard to beat for simply brunch menu!

I made this for a Super Bowl party and (pardon the pun) - touchdown! They disappeared quickly, so next time I would double the recipe. I also followed the suggestion to line the baking pan with foil, which helped with cleanup. I will definitely be making these again.

savory! I used regular oscar mayer bacon, what I had on hand. It would be hard to eat just 2! I may use more cayenne pepper but just a bit more. If you can get to Sam's Club buy the commercial baking sheets, 2 for under $11. Not even this sticky mess stuck and they don't rust.I wish I had them years ago! Try this recipe you won't be sorry!

These bacon twists are so delicious, they vanish faster than I can cook them. I will be keeping this recipe and making them many more times.

Next time I will add more cayenne. Easy to prepare. I did cut the strips in half...everyone loved them.

This was an AWESOME snack, made it for a few friends and it got rave reviews. One thing I would change next time would be to put some tinfoil on the baking sheet to ease clean up.

I baked 2 pounds for a small social (under 20 people) and every piece was eat up right quick! The next week they were still talking about them I can't believe they are so low in calories, mind you most people had more than 2.
