Deviled eggs with bacon and chives are a pretty common party food but this recipe takes it up a level with candied bacon and chive air. The candied bacon is crispy, sweet, spicy and smoky all at once while the chive air adds a fresh onion flavor with a hint of sweetness.

This recipe makes more bacon than you need to top the eggs with but I usually have trouble not eating a few pieces of it along the way. It calls for chipotle powder but you can use any chile powder of your choice, or omit it completely if you don't want the spiciness.
