Maple Bacon Pecan Brittle

By HazyWaters

Ingredients

• 2 cup white sugar
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped into larger size pieces
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup crumbled, cooked maple bacon
• 2 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

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.

2.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.
