Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Season the Bacon
Place the thick-cut bacon strips on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon.
Add Maple Syrup
Drizzle the Michigan maple syrup generously over the bacon strips, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake the Bacon
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Melt the Dark Chocolate
While the bacon is baking, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Drizzle Chocolate
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the bacon strips.
Serve
Allow the chocolate to set slightly before serving. Enjoy your house-flared thick-cut bacon warm or at room temperature.
