Irresistible bacon and pecan brittle, a delicious treat perfect for gifting (if you can resist eating it all yourself)!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 pound bacon
  • 0.5 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon bacon grease
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crisp and brown the bacon, turning occasionally for about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Crumble the bacon once drained and slightly cooled.
  • Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix together the sugar, syrup, and salt. Microwave until bubbling, approximately 4 minutes.
  • Mix together crispy bacon pieces, crunchy pecans, the flavorful reserved bacon grease, and aromatic vanilla extract into the sugar mixture. Microwave the delightful concoction for 3 minutes. Quickly incorporate the baking soda and stir until a delightful foam forms.
  • Efficiently spread the mixture on the baking sheet and allow it to cool and set for roughly 15 minutes. Then, break it into bite-size pieces.
