Bacon Wrapped Maple Scallops

Ingredients:

1 lb. sea scallops
3/4 cup Clarks Original Maple Syrup

1/4 cup soy sauce
12 slices of bacon halved
24 toothpicks
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions:

1. Stir together maple syrup and soy sauce. Marinate scallops in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. (Marinate at least one hour)
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
3. Arrange bacon pieces on baking sheet so they do not overlap. Bake in preheated oven until some of the grease has rendered out of the bacon; the bacon should still be very soft and pliable, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon from the baking sheet and pat with paper towels to remove excess grease. Drain or wipe grease from the baking sheet.
4. Wrap each scallop piece with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place onto baking sheet. Sprinkle the scallops with brown sugar.
