  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

  • In a microwave safe container, heat the brown sugar and maple syrup. Brush warm mixture on top of the bacon strips.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until bacon is brown and a little crispy. Let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in brown sugar and powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Stir in maple syrup until well mixed.
  • Crumble 4 pieces of the candied bacon and fold into the dip. Crumble the last piece of bacon and sprinkle on top of the mixture.
  • Serve immediately with apple slices, graham crackers, or mini Eggo waffles or chill until ready to eat.

  1. This dip was a huge success with our office Dip it Day! I used apple chips for the dippers, but we also tried Club and Ritz crackers; both were tasty.

  2. I’ve been waiting for an event to take this too. Just made it for tomorrow’s 49er game tailgate party. It tastes so yummy even at room temp. I can’t wait to try it tomorrow once it’s cold.

  3. Does this taste like the one they serve at yard house with their sweet potatoes fries??
    Please help trying to recreate!
