Tips for Making This Recipe
- Thick-cut bacon creates the best texture and stays crisp after baking.
- Watch the candied bacon closely during the last few minutes of baking, as the sugar can caramelize quickly.
- Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before inverting so the caramel has time to settle.
- Save a portion of the candied bacon for garnish to add crunch and beautiful presentation.

Ingredients
1 package Butter Braid® Caramel Pastry Rolls
8 slices thick-cut bacon
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (optional)
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup pure maple syrup
Caramel packet (included with Butter Braid® Caramel Pastry Rolls)
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Directions
- Step 1: Prepare the Caramel Rolls
- Remove the Butter Braid® Caramel Pastry Rolls from the freezer and allow them to thaw according to the package directions, about 2 hours.
- Step 2: Make the Candied Bacon
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, and cracked black pepper, if using. Brush the mixture generously over each slice of bacon.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bacon is caramelized and crisp. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Transfer the bacon to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, chop about two-thirds of the bacon into small pieces and reserve the remaining pieces for topping the finished rolls.
- Step 3: Prepare the Maple Caramel
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and both caramel packets included with the Butter Braid® Caramel Pastry Rolls. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the chopped candied bacon across the caramel mixture.
- Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
- Place the thawed Caramel Pastry Rolls directly on top of the maple caramel and bacon mixture, leaving a little space between each roll for rising.
- Allow the rolls to rise according to the package directions.
- Step 5: Bake
- Bake according to the Butter Braid® Caramel Pastry Roll package directions, or until the rolls are golden brown and baked through, about 25–30 minutes.
- Let the pan rest for 3–5 minutes after baking. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter so the warm maple caramel flows over the rolls.
- Sprinkle the reserved candied bacon over the top while the rolls are still warm.
- For an extra touch, drizzle with a little additional maple syrup and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Serve warm.
