- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack over the foil.

In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, ground mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cayenne pepper. Place aside.

Twist each strip of bacon into a straw shape. Place on prepared baking rack. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Cook 15 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer twists to a parchment lined sheet pan. Cook 15 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and caramelized.
