It's fun to have one over-the-top appetizer that's easy to prepare. You can make my WHISKEY SPIKED MAPLE BACON several days in advance then warm them up in the microwave or have them coming out of the oven as your guests arrive. The smell of the bacon glazing will have your company drooling but make sure you let the bacon cool slightly before serving.

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. - it’ll make your clean-up so much easier!
    Place a rack the same size on top of parchment.

    Mix together the maple sugar and whiskey. I used the bottom of a small glass to crush the maple cream.
    Sprinkle the bacon, on both sides with the black pepper.

    Remove from oven and paint bacon on top side with whiskey mixture.
    Place back in oven for 15 minutes.

    Remove from oven and allow bacon to cool for 10 - 20 minutes before serving.
