How To Make father's day bacon peanut brittle

Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; top with cooling rack. Coat with cooking spray. Arrange bacon on rack. Sprinkle each slice with 2 tsp brown sugar; press lightly to adhere; flip bacon over. Sprinkle each with 2 tsp sugar; press lightly to adhere. Bake 15 minutes. Flip bacon over. Bake an additional 7 - 10 minutes or until crisp, checking frequently so it doesn't burn. Cool; chop.

Step 2Line another baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner. In a pot, add remaining sugars, corn syrup & water. Over medium high heat, bring to boil, stirring. Stir in bacon & peanuts. Cook, stirring, until candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F., about 5 - 10 minutes. Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter & soda until completely blended.
