Maple Bourbon Dip Ingredients

16 oz Cream cheese
1 stick Unsalted butter
1 cup Powdered sugar
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1/4 cup Maple syrup
1 tbsp Maple bourbon seasoning

Instructions

Start by laying down a few strips of bacon on a wire rack. Brush a thin layer of pure maple syrup on each strip and season with a maple bourbon rub.
Preheat the grill to a medium 350 heat and cook until the bacon is crispy.
In a mixing bowl, add room temperature cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, brown sugar maple bourbon seasoning.
With a mixer, blend the ingredients together until you get a smooth creamy texture.
Cut up the candied bacon into small pieces. Drop 3/4 of it in the dip and mix it in with a spoon.
Use the remaining bacon to decorate the top and serve with biscuits or sliced fruit. Enjoy!

Notes

Don't have a grill or don't want to heat it up, crisp up the bacon in the microwave, air fryer or oven.

It's very important that the butter is room temperature or you risk the dip to be lumpy.

If you are making this dip in advance, make sure to keep it in the fridge covered. Before serving, let it get to room temperature for 5 -8 minutes before serving.

Spread this sweet and savory delight on a perfectly toasted bagel and enjoy for breakfast.
