Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400F degrees. Cut the bacon in half.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and then place a cooling rack on top. Spray rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place bacon strips on top of the rack. Take a basting brush and brush hot sauce over the bacon.
- No basting brush? Just shake a few drops on each piece and spread it out with a butter knife or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Bake for 10-20 minutes (how long you cook will depend on how crispy you want your bacon.)

Steps:
- Make the Pig Candy: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Place the brown sugar in a pie dish. Gently press each slice of bacon into the brown sugar until coated (it?s OK if there are patches of uncoated bacon).
- Immediately arrange the bacon on the prepared rack and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until super crispy and golden, 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon. Transfer the bacon to a piece of parchment paper and let cool.
- Make the popcorn mix: Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Put the plain popcorn in a large bowl. Bring the granulated sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cook, without stirring, until light amber, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to a very low simmer and gently swirl the pot until the mixture is dark amber, 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Take the pan o the heat and add the butter. Let the caramel bubble, stirring until the butter is fully combined. Add the salt and baking soda and stir until uniform. Pour over the plain popcorn and mix well, then spread on the prepared baking sheet and let cool completely.
- Combine the caramel corn and cheddar popcorn in a large bowl; crumble the Pig Candy on top.
