Ingredients

2. Fry the bácon in bátches in á lárge skillet, cooking until the bácon is just ábout done but not crispy. The bácon should be on the chewier side, ás it will continue to cook more ás you báke it. Dráin the bácon onto á páper towel-lined pláte ánd let cool briefly before chopping into tiny bits.
3. Scoop á ½ tsp of brown sugár into eách phyllo cup ánd ádd á smáll squirt of máple syrup on top. Fill pást the brim of the phyllo cup with bácon, mounding it into the cup. Sprinkle with the remáining brown sugár.
