1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your grill to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thread a bacon strip through your skewer on one end and roll it tightly about one-third of the way.
Twist your bacon strip counter-clockwise to create rose petals. Secure the bottom of your rose with a toothpick or two.
Repeat step 2 and 3 with the remaining bacon strips.
Sprinkle a pinch of Revolution Barbecue Kansas City BBQ Rub and brown sugar over each bacon rose. Place the bacon roses in a muffin tin.
Cook the bacon roses for 20 minutes.
Remove the muffin tin from the grill and place it on a wire rack to cool.
If the brown sugar has not completely melted, spoon some of the bacon grease from the bottom of the tin over the rose buds.
Once the bacon roses have completely cooled, remove the toothpicks and place them on your skewers to create a bouquet.
