Ultimate Bacon-Wrapped Caramel Corn Cob Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 fresh corn cobs, stripped of husks
• ½ cup of velvety melted butter
• A hint of salt, for those who prefer
• ½ cup of richly packed brown sugar
• 1 package of smoky bacon (12 ounces)

Step 1

Begin by preparing the corn for the grill - for each ear, lay it on a generous sheet of aluminum foil that can fully envelop it, then generously brush it with butter and sprinkle a pinch of salt for added flavor.

Step 2

Next, on a spacious plate, spread out a layer of brown sugar to create a sweet coating for the corn. Gently roll each buttered ear in the brown sugar to ensure it is evenly coated, enhancing the caramelization during grilling.

Step 3

For an extra savory twist, carefully wrap two slices of bacon around the length of each corn ear, infusing it with rich flavor and texture. Once the bacon is in place, encase the entire corn in the foil, sealing it snugly.

Step 4

As the grill heats up to a moderate temperature, make sure to oil the grate lightly to prevent sticking. Place the foil-wrapped corn on the grill, opting for indirect heat to cook it slowly and evenly. Remember to turn the corn occasionally during the 35 to 45 minutes of cooking time, ensuring that the corn becomes tender and the bacon turns delightfully crisp.
