Brown Sugar Bacon Jerky Candied Bacon

First of all, if you're looking for candied bacon that looks like that picture, this is not it. If you've had candied bacon before- fresh candied bacon- this is also not it. This is more accurately, as they have specified, candied bacon jerkey. Imagine a piece of very tender beef jerkey. Now imagine this jerkey having been coated in a layer of brown sugar glaze. Like most classic candied bacon recipes, there was an added layer of brown sugar sprinkled onto it. Expect that. This is not a firm piece of candied bacon either. Like I said, it's very tender brown sugar bacon jerkey. It's a good stand in for candied bacon, overall, especially when you're just sort of on the go and craving the real deal. The sweetness is stereotypical for a "candied product" and I don't mind it personally. The portion is sort of small, but then again, I understand why after having made candied bacon for years myself. Not bad for the price, honestly. The shipping speed was pretty good. Arrived in 2 weeks because I'm in Asia and that is actually VERY fast.

Probably my saddest bacon experience ever. I love bacon. I have had a lot of mediocre bacon. Hotel bacon. Precooked bacon. Bacon from a can. Bacon from a bag. Questionable bacon. Sad restaurant bacon...but I have never been as disappointed by a bacon as I have by this one. One of my favorite podcasts rapsodised wildly about this product so I had high hopes for it. It certainly looks delicious in the picture, all dark golden brown. Glazed to a perfect caramelized deliciosness. Look at how proudly they stand up in their homey glass jars. This is a bacon that does a pig proud. That is not what arrived by along shot. What arrived was thickish slabs of limp pig. In fact the only way that I could have gotten what arrived to look like that picture was by backing it with plywood and shellacking the whole thing in 5-6 coats of varnish. The product that arrived was unpleasantly greasy with sugar crystals that might have seen an oven long enough to be terrified into staying put on the slick surface. The entire inside of the bag felt like it had been used by a grease elemental as a sauna. The bacon was flabby. One entire slice was essentially inedible because it was simply one long strip of undercooked fat. No meat just fat. Had I chosen to I could have likely squeezed enough grease out of it to fry an entire pan of potatoes and likely an egg or three. There is absolutely no excuse for a pig to suffer for this product.

OMG This stuff is outrageously addicting! Delicious begging to end. Crispy, yet chewy. Sweetened just enough to crave more. My only complaint, they need to put a bigger portion in the bag. It needs a little more bang for the buck. That’s the only reason why I’m holding back on having a full blown subscription to this magical bacon treat!

The product is very tasty, and almost what I had expected. I say, “almost” because it’s really not what I’d call jerky at all. This is sweetened, cooked bacon; like the bacon you’d get at a breakfast restaurant, but it’s been sweetened. It is yummy, but it’s flimsy, not crispy, and not as thick cut, or hard and chewy as the mainstream jerky. So, as mentioned, it’s good; would I buy it again? I’m not sure, really. The price is fair; you get about 6-7 strips of bacon, but everything is expensive now, so I won’t complain about the price. However, it’s not what I’d call inexpensive; it’s about $2 per strip.

I liked this bacon. I wasn't sure what to think after reading the reviews before it arrive. The only negative comments I can make is that the price is high and the quantity low for that price

The picture of this product on Amazon shows very nice, crisp, candied brown bacon jerky. As you can see, this is not at all what I got. It was broken and crumbled and looks terrible. I bought this for a charcuterie board for our Fire Department Awards Ceremony and cannot use this product. I contacted the seller and was told to return the product and they would issue a refund. It will cost more money to send it back than it is worth. I am not using my money to send this substandard product back. I went to try to return it via the Amazon Return Policy and it says this product is ineligible for return. I guess they put it that way because they know they're sending out a substandard product. Don't waste your time or money on this. My advice is to buy some bacon and brown sugar and put it in an air fryer and make it yourself! That's what I should have done in the first place. I would have rated this a zero, but there isn't a zero on Amazon ratings. UPDATE: I was totally disgusted with the way this was handled so I called Amazon to report and what I felt was almost a scam. Amazon jumped in and contacted the seller and asked them to send me a return label for this product so I would not have to pay out of my pocket for the return of this product. Instead, the seller just credited back the money I paid. They could have it back because I definitely do not want it. But they chose not to take it back so I had to update it to two stars because even though I had problems with them, Amazon got it right and worked hard to make them rectify the situation.

Treat. Good quality. Wish there was more in package - greedy! They should make it chocolate covered as well!

I've been trying "exotic" types of jerky recently, and could hardly resist this one; it sounded so perfectly bad for you. Indeed, I was glad to see that they didn't include the usual "nutritional" information on the package. What would be the point for something that rots your teeth while it hardens your arteries? This arrived on June 1st, 2017, and the best by date was July 5th, same year. No problem, really, it's not like it was going to last that long, but you do expect more shelf life than that for jerky. The appearance is not much like that tasty looking picture, which makes it look all browned and crisp, but that's typical for food products. Well, it's sugary bacon. Fairly tasty, nothing that special. If you haven't had it before and like bacon, this is definitely worth trying. It's not something I think I'd bother buying again, unless it was at a local store and a bit cheaper. I did like it, though.
