Candied Ribs candied spareribs rib candy
Candied Ribs are SO GOOD but PLEASE don’t slap yo mama!
This recipe will work with all kinds of ribs but I like to use spare ribs because they so well cooked slowly in their own juices.

Wrap the ribs well in foil
After you remove the membrane from the ribs and season them well, wrap the ribs tightly in foil to seal the juices in. Cook the ribs at 325 degrees for an hour and a half.
Pour some sugar on it
Unwrap the ribs and sprinkle them with a brown sugar mixture. Broil the ribs for just a minute or two. Watch it closely because the ribs can burn easily. Now is not the time to check your Twitter feed.
Serve ’em up
Let the ribs cool a bit so the sugar glaze hardens a bit. The sugar becomes like a creme brulee shell on these ribs. It is so good! Give it a try, I think you’ll like it
