Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound bacon
1 cup white sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 pinch salt
½ cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon bacon grease
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease. Crumble bacon once drained and slightly cooled.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine sugar, syrup, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave oven until bubbling, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir bacon, pecans, reserved bacon grease, and vanilla extract through the sugar mixture; heat in microwave oven for 3 minutes more. Immediately add baking soda and stir just until foamy.
  • Working quickly, spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until set, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
