I made this recently for a small dinner party and it was a major success! It was even better the next day when the bacon was left overnight in the refrigerator because it became even more caramelized and when you bit into you were really able to savor the crunch, the smoky salty bacon flavor and the sweet maple. The only thing that I found was that the cook time in my oven took well over 40 minutes. Thank you kmartinelli…I think my boyfriend may marry me after this creation!

YUM! This sounds really good and right up my alley...for a friend's birthday, my brother and I made red velvet cupcakes topped with maple bacon dipped in white chocolate. I've also played around with a "bacon eggs and rice" ice cream with clarified butter (for eggy color - a nod and thanks to dymyno's corn ice cream from last summer) maple candied bacon and toasted rice powder.

WOW! This sounds fabulous. Coincidentally, a recent houseguest of ours told me about her new favorite snack: chocolate covered bacon. It just sounded so good, and I think your recipe here would give me that same perfect combo!! And with the spices - this has my vote!

This sounds really wonderful. I've made pots de creme (my husband's favorite dessert) with other spices (cardamom, cinnamon, allspice), but never ventured into the chili territory. Great recipe!

Thanks drbabs! All those spices sound like great additions as well - I love how much room there is to play here.
