Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar, and black pepper and mix until well combined.

Notes
- To ensure evenly cooked bacon, use thick-cut bacon strips.
- Keep an eye on the bacon as it cooks - it can go from perfect to burned quickly!
- If you want a more savory flavor, add additional seasonings such as cayenne or garlic powder.
- Let the candied bacon cool before serving. This will help keep it crispy.
