PREP & COOK TIME 30 MINUTES – yields 32 bites

1 pound bacon (16 strips, cut in half)
12 ounce can SPAM, cut into 32 pieces
1/3 cup mustard
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 clove garlic, minced

• Wrap a bacon strip around each spam cube, securing with a toothpick. Place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the mustard, maple syrup and garlic.
• Drizzle over baked cubes and return to the oven for another 10 minutes until bacon is crisp.

NOTE: If you’re not a SPAM fan, cubes of country ham can easily be substituted.
