Candied Bacon

It’s hard to imagine bacon being any better than straight out of the frying pan. Try sweet and salty Candied Bacon.

• 1 pound thick cut bacon
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
2. Lay strips of bacon in a single layer in baking pan.  Drizzle the maple syrup over each slice. Sprinkle with brown sugar and a black pepper.  
3. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.  Let the candied bacon cool for a few minutes until they've firmed up.
