Bacon Brittle Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices Smokey's Maplewood Smoked Bacon
• 1/3 cup Sugar
• 1/3/ cup Light Corn Syrup
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Directions:

1. Roughly chop 4 slices of bacon and place in a food processor. Process bacon until it is finely chopped and forms a ball in the bowl.
2. Cook bacon over medium to medium high heat, depending on your stove, until evenly browned. Drain bacon pieces in a fine mesh sieve and discard fat.
3. In a medium saucepan combine sugar and corn syrup. Clip on a candy thermometer and cook to 300° F. Stir constantly.
4. When sugar reaches 300° F remove from heat and remove candy thermometer. Stir in baking soda and bacon pieces and stir vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.
5. Pour mixture onto a baking sheet lined with Reynold's Wrap Nonstick Foil. Allow candy to rest until it is cool enough to handle comfortably but not cold.
6. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the candy and allow them melt. Spread chocolate evenly over the candy with a long spatula or knife.
7. Place candy in the freezer just until the chocolate has completely hardened.
8. Cut candy into pieces with a very sharp knife.
9. Store candy in a single layer in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
