Delicious fatty strips of bacon all ground up into a fine powder so it can be conveniently consumed anywhere, that's what Instructables user Canida has brought to the world with the DIY bacon pixie stix.
With no artificial bacon flavoring, the bacon pixie stix contain 100% of the full-fat greasy and mouthwatering juicy bacon. Aside from bacon and corn starch, the more difficult ingredients to acquire are the remaining dextrose powder, tapioca maltodextrin and citric acid, but the list of five ingredients is definitely a short one and worth the effort to create the savoury pork powder.
The tasty treat is not only great to snack on any time but could also be used as a spice or topping. The kick things up a notch, try sprinkling some on salad or even as a pizza or pasta topping.
