However — please forgive me, Kentucky — I was underwhelmed. It was so sweet and so gooey, I wondered if I could make it at home, thinner, with a little crunchy salt and with more depth of flavor (deeply toasted nuts, brown sugar, brown butter and vanilla, perhaps?).

Whether you cook them on the stovetop, bake them in the oven, or grill them, be sure you’re not making one of these common mistakes the next time pork chops are on the menu.
