Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of bacon
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls, 8 ct
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¾ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place bacon on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until right before it gets crispy. (It will bake a while longer, later).
  • Remove from oven and drain on paper towels and chop into large pieces.
  • Turn oven to 325 degrees.
  • Line another rimmed baking sheet with foil and liberally spray with cooking spray.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls onto the baking sheet being careful not to separate any. You want a single rectangle of dough.
  • Pinch any perforations together to seal and stretch the dough so it forms an even rectangle.
  • Use a fork to prick holes all over the dough.
  • Drizzle 1/4 cup of maple syrup on top of the crescent dough.
  • Sprinkle ¼ cup of the brown sugar on top of the syrup.
  • Top with chopped bacon.
  • Drizzle remaining maple syrup on top of the bacon and top with the remaining brown sugar.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes at 325 degrees.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into bite sized pieces.

  1. I made this and the crescent was too soft and sticky. It stuck to the foil. I sprayed it and pinched the doings together but not sure hiwntonaboicenthis for next time. Any suggestions?

    Way too sweet! It was a bit of a sticky mess and hard to scrape out of the pan. Next time I would skip the brown sugar totally, and use no more than 1/8 cup of maple sugar for the entire recipie. The point is to end up with a crisp bottom and a hint of maple, not to make bacon taffy. I also used parchment paper, which is easier to peel off of the finished product.

    However… with that adjustment it really WOULD be crack!

    • I’ve never tried freezing it. I’m not sure how the texture would be. If you try it, I’d love to know how it turns out.
