Maple Bacon Crack
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.

- When a recipe call for House Seasoning Blend, you can use this recipe or substitute salt and pepper to taste.
- I always use unsalted butter in my recipes.
- I always use a meat thermometor to test for doneness when cooking meat. This one is my favorite.
- When a recipe is made in the oven, it should be pre-heated to the temperature in the recipe, unless otherwise noted.

October 16, 2016 at 7:54 pmI 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?

November 15, 2016 at 8:03 pmTry using non-stick foil next time or spraying regular foil with non-stick cooking spray. The sugar does get sticky.

January 8, 2016 at 9:10 pmCan I make this the night before? Can I reheat it some way or does it even have to be served warm?
Christina Hitchcock says
January 23, 2016 at 4:09 pmI’ve never tried making ahead. I’m sure you could. I like it best when it’s warm.

December 20, 2015 at 1:03 pmWay 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!

Christina Hitchcock says
December 11, 2015 at 7:14 pmI’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.
