Candied Bacon
Bacon. It doesn’t get much better than crisp bacon. Oh wait, it does. Sweet candied bacon is better! This Brown Sugar Maple Bacon is the perfect blend of sweet maple and salty bacon.
This recipe is leading up to something (you already know that if you follow me on Instagram). Eat this bacon by itself but just be sure to save a few strips for my next recipe, Maple Bacon Donuts! Yeah, I know. Just when you thought candied bacon was the ultimate treat I had to up the ante.
Uhhhh, just gaze upon that glorious glistening bacon. Some ladies like the sparkle of diamonds . . . I prefer the sparkle of candied bacon!

Just made this bacon as a topper to your bacon maple dounts. turened out great! Not as pretty as yours… I didn’t use a rack so they needed more time to cook and got a little darker. Thanks for the recipes.
Awesome! 🙂
Drooling already. Will this survive a 2 or 3 day mailing?
No, this needs to be refrigerated. I would worry it would go bad :/
