Candied spiced bacon is a delicious appetizer for those who enjoy an unusual combination of flavors. Brush bacon strips with maple syrup, sprinkle with a brown sugar-spice mixture, and bake in the oven at a low temperature until candied. Store-bought bacon won't work for this recipe. The strips shouldn't be too thin, so buy a whole bacon and slice it into pieces just over 0.5 cm thick.
