    🍴 Recipe Tips

    You can make this maple bacon cream cheese in advance. Simply make it and keep it stored well covered in the fridge. It should be good for up to 4 days but tastes best when made up to 48 hours in advance because the flavors have longer to develop.

    This dip is best served cold.

    You will make about 2 cups worth of dip out of this maple bacon dip recipe.

    Make sure to cover the bottom of your baking sheet with foil for an easier cleanup.

    💭 FAQs

    What goes well with this dip?

    This maple bacon dip goes really well with fruit like sliced apples, graham crackers, Eggo waffles, Club Crackers, and Ritz crackers too!

    Why is my bacon not crisp?

    If your bacon isn't crispy after 15 minutes then you probably used a thicker cut than I did. Increase the baking time by another 15-20 minutes, checking on it every 5 minutes or so until done.
