Tips:
Pig Candy can be added to cookies, icing, ice cream and more sweet treats.
Be careful when dealing with bacon and the grill. You can place a disposable pan filled with 1 inch of water underneath the bacon to catch drippings. Always know where your fire extinguisher is and do not leave your grill unattended.
