Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices Bacon, Diced
2 cups Sugar
1 stick Unsalted Butter
½ cups Water
⅓ cups Light Corn Syrup
1-½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
½ teaspoons Baking Soda
2 cups Roasted, Unsalted Peanuts

Steps:

  • Place a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and drain it on some paper towels and set aside.
  • Spray a large rimmed baking sheet and a metal spatula with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the sugar, butter, water and corn syrup in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the mixture registers 325°F on a candy thermometer. Remove pan from the heat and whisk in the salt and baking soda. Stir in the peanuts and cooked bacon.
  • Working quickly, pour the brittle out onto the prepared baking sheet and, using the coated spatula, spread it out into an even 1/2-inch thick layer. Let it cool completely at room temperature before breaking into pieces.
