How To Make bacon brittle

  • Step 1
    Brush 9x13 baking sheet with butter and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Cook bacon until easily crumbled. Crumble and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Combine Corn Syrup, Sugar, Water and salt in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until reaching 'softball stage' on a candy thermometer (238 degrees.)
  • Step 4
    Add bacon, continue cooking and stirring often to keep from burning bacon, until liquid turns amber. Remove from heat.
  • Step 5
    Carefully stir in Vanilla and Baking Soda, immediately. Mixture will foam up in pan.
  • Step 6
    Pour mixture on to prepared baking sheet, spread evenly immediately. Then set aside until completely cooled.
  • Step 7
    Gently break brittle into pieces and enjoy.
