Cinnamon-Maple Bacon Dip

This holiday season, I wanted to make something that would make my family and friends drool upon sight and hopefully think it was worth the salivation after eating it. With that goal in mind, I knew I had to do something drastic…I had to make a Cinnamon-Maple Bacon Dip.

Did I get them to drool?

…you bet! With bacon, it almost wasn’t fair.

Bacon Spread
spread:
  • 2 8-ounce blocks of cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Maple-Agave syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
candied bacon:
  • Bacon
  • Maple syrup
  • brown sugar
  • butter
(amounts vary, use what you would like)
Use this bacon recipe, or another here!

In a frying pan, coat bottom of pan with butter. In a small bowl, melt some butter, maple syrup and about 1/8 cup of brown sugar until melted together. Place your bacon in the pan, brushing each side with the butter/maple/sugar mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon once placed in pan.
Fry up the bacon to your liking. I know most like their bacon crisp. It may soften up once mixed in with cheese spread and placed in refrigerator, so a bit more crisp is nice. Blot with paper towel once finished, leaving some grease left on the bacon, which will allow to give the cheese spread a little bit of a bacon taste, as well.
Once all bacon is cooked, chop into small pieces and start your cheese spread.
In a large bowl, soften your cream cheese until it forms a soft spread. You can use a handheld blender or Kitchen Aide. Once soft, with a wooden spoon, stir in maple-agave syrup, cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg until well combined. Fold in your candied bacon.
