Maple Bacon Pecan Brittle image

I adapted this recipe one night after having seen a peanut-bacon brittle on TV. It is sooooo good. I have trouble waiting for this stuff to cool before eating!

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup white sugar
½ cup water
6 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup crumbled, cooked maple bacon
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Bring sugar, water, corn syrup, and maple syrup to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
  • Stir pecans and vanilla into syrup mixture until mixture begins to turn brown; add bacon. Cook until bacon mixture turns light brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir baking soda into bacon mixture. Pour brittle out onto a sheet of parchment paper set on a heat-proof surface and cool brittle to room temperature before breaking into pieces, at least 30 minutes.

I've never made brittle before, but this recipe made it so easy. I'm definitely going to try making other kinds of brittle now.

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. It turned out just as good!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add more bacon. I love the salty-sweet combination of bacon and maple syrup.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover bacon and pecans.
