Maple syrup acts as both a flavor element and a binder. You only need 4 ingredients to make this recipe, so my recommendation is to get the best of each ingredient that you can (meaning snag some quality thick-cut bacon and pure maple syrup if possible). You can choose peppered or maple bacon if you like, but I prefer to create my own seasoning profile so I always go with a classic apple or hickory smoked bacon. I highly recommend using a thick cut of bacon as your base. ![]() The key to the best candied bacon is the type of bacon that you start with. ![]() It has that perfect sweet, savory, and salty mix that makes it majorly addicting. And while it makes for a great breakfast side, you can enjoy this bacon anytime. In fact, anytime we whip up the recipe alongside pancakes, waffles, eggs, or omelets, this bacon is the first to go. It’s hard to pass up a slice or two of candied bacon when it’s included in the spread at breakfast. Smoked candied bacon takes the best food of all time and makes it EVEN BETTER with a sweet coating of maple syrup, brown sugar, and my famous sweet rub seasoning.
