Candy? Yes. Bacon? Umm, yes. Maple candied bacon? Good god, yes And its way easier to make than you might think, we promise. You basically just slather thick-cut bacon in maple syrup, sprinkle it with brown sugar and a hint of black pepper for a salty-sweet delight that elevates breakfast to an ohmygosh level. Use it as a garnish for your favorite brunch cocktail, crumble pieces of it over a salad or add it to a sandwich. Or hey, just enjoy it all on its own. Wake up and smell the (maple-candied) bacon.
