Beer-Candied Bacon

What a wonderful treat that combines two of our favorite things! And the alcohol cooks off so the kids can eat it too! The syrup gives it a sweet kick of a flavor. We used a Shock Top stout, but any beer will work. The deeper and darker the beer, the syrup will be much richer. They didn’t last a few minutes in our kitchen!
