INGREDIENTS:
1 lb high-quality bacon strips
large package bread sticks
1 box dark brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1.   Cut bacon strips in half and lay them out on a cutting board. Bread the bread sticks
into 4-inch lengths. Sprinkle the bacon with brown sugar so that the bacon is
completely coated. Press the sugar onto the bacon with fingers. Continue to sprinkle
sugar and press it on until no more sugar will adhere.
2. Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Set a rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Roll the bacon
strips sugar side in, around the bread sticks in a spiral fash. Be sure to begin as close
to the bread stick edge as possible and roll very tightly. Place seam side down on the
rack.
3. Back about 20 minutes, but watch carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn in the last
minutes of cooking.
4. Remove from the oven and let rest for an hour on the rack to become girm. (To
prepare ahead and freeze, bake the stick half way, freeze on a baking sheet, and store
  in the freezer in a plastic bag. To serve, bake the sticks for the remaining 10 minutes)
