Treat yourself to the perfect blend of sweet, smoky, and spicy with these Bacon-Wrapped Figs. Juicy figs are wrapped in crispy bacon and glazed with a bold maple snakebite sauce that adds a hint of heat and sweetness to every bite. This unique appetizer is ideal for parties or special occasions, delivering a flavor-packed combination that will leave your guests wanting more.
Place 4 layers of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Top with bacon slices. Cover with two more layers of paper towels. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes to render fat from bacon but not crisp.
While bacon cools, slice each fig twice, starting at the stem end, and cutting three-quarters of the way to the bottom.
Stuff each fig with a pecan piece. Wrap a half strip of bacon around each fig and secure with a toothpick.
Place on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Turn. Return to oven for 5 minutes or until bacon is sizzling and begins to crisp.
In a small bowl, combine syrup and cayenne pepper. Brush mixture over appetizers.
For the dip, combine all dip ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill until serving time.
Serve!
