This candied bacon is maple flavoured and so easy to make. It's sweet, salty, and sheer bacon perfection.
This sweet and salty snack is perfect for parties and brunches. I tend to make it on holidays. It's a nice treat, plus it's super easy to make. My family and I just love this stuff. We cannot get enough of it.
Candied maple bacon is seriously addictive. Once you start eating it you'll never want to stop.
Trust me, I speak from experience. The day I made this I think I ate my body weight in bacon. Not even kidding.
I knew when I joined Bacon Month that I was going to have to make some amazing candied bacon.
Being a Canuck it's a pretty easy leap to maple flavouring. I mean it's not like we have our own tree to tap, but it's certainly pretty easy to procure maple syrup in these parts.
So I whipped up some quick and easy Candied Maple Bacon. Then I ate the whole batch.
Whip some of this up for yourself. You will thank me. Your waistline might not. But you will.

Candied Maple Bacon
Ingredients
- 1 pound of bacon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the brown sugar into a shallow long pan.
- Pour the maple sugar into another shallow long pan.
- Take each strip of bacon and dunk it into the maple syrup, then the brown sugar. Place each strip on the cookie sheets.
- Place in the preheated oven and cook for about 15 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- Check the bacon and if it's how you like it remove from the oven. If you like yours a bit crispier you can add 5 minutes or so. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Pull each piece off the parchment paper and place on a plate to cool. If you can resist it that long.
- Serve with a big old maple smile!

Hello, lover! I need to sink all my money (all tens of hundreds of it) into technology that would allow me to reach into my screen because that candied bacon is taunting me. I haven't made candied bacon in two years. TWO YEARS! That's faaaaaar too long for us to be apart!

Hi there!
I'm looking to make this as a Christmas nosh, but we have alot to make tomorrow. Can the bacon "marinate" in maple for a day before so I can just dunk in sugar and bake (it might save me 10/20 minutes)?
Thanks!
Kim Beaulieu
Absolutely. Let me know how it turns out. Happy Holidays.
Ashley
I searched candied bacon for a bloody mary garnish and hit the mother load with your site! Thrilled I found you!
jennifer
does it need to be refrigerated after it is cooked? I am adding it as a garnish to cupcakes that will be served the next morning.
Kim Beaulieu
Hi Jennifer. If you're using it the next day definitely pop it in the fridge overnight. Let me know how those cupcakes turn out. Sounds amazing.
sarah
Any tips for storing these?
I want to make a bunch for my hubby's 30th birthday, but not sure if I can make them in advance...
If I refrigerate will they go soggy? If I don't refrigerate will the bacon go bad?
Help! :-S
Kim Beaulieu
Hey Sarah. definitely refrigerate it. Then just take it out about 30 minutes before you need it. I use parchment paper to layer mine in containers so the pieces don't stick together. Hope that helps. xx
Lisa
Do you think using regular pancake syrup would work? Or does it need to be maple syrup?
Thanks!
Kim Beaulieu
Hi Lisa, I've not tried it with pancake syrup but in theory it should work. You can also just use brown sugar with no syrup. https://www.cravingsofalunatic.com/2013/05/candied-bacon-brunchweek.html

Yes please! This looks amazing!
