Maple Bacon Pecan Brittle Recipe

Maple Bacon Pecan Brittle Recipe

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup crumbled, cooked maple bacon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  1. Bring sugar, water, corn syrup, and maple syrup to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
  2. Stir pecans and vanilla into syrup mixture until mixture begins to turn brown; add bacon. Cook until bacon mixture turns light brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir baking soda into bacon mixture. Pour brittle out onto a sheet of parchment paper set on a heat-proof surface and cool brittle to room temperature before breaking into pieces, at least 30 minutes.
