Toasting pecans on F for 8min burnt my first batch, I suggest lowering the heat. Also, mine did not firm up and stayed a toffee texture. I put it in the freezer to see if it would firm up, but when I put it in the fridge, it kind of molded into one big pile of toffee.
Some notes about this Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken:
Brittle can be such a temperamental little stinker, so many things have to go just right. A toffee texture sounds pretty yummy, actually. I hope it comes out for you next time. The flavor is incredible! Brittles are so finicky and so many outside factors can affect the process. Good luck, I am sure you will find your sweet spot with this recipe.
Just tried my first batch and hit degrees but my brittle is a bit chewy. I noticed the thinner areas I spread out got more firm than the thicker pieces so I definitely think working quick to spread the mix on the parchment paper is another key.

Hi Lori, my sincerest apologies, somehow in the hustle and bustle of the holidays I missed your comment. I hope the brittle worked out for you. Brittles are so tricky and fickle. Did you try the fridge or freeze to firm it up? Hope you are having a great ! What does the baking soda do?
Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
It looked great until I added the soda. Now it is cloudy looking but tastes great. Hi Sandy, great question! The baking soda is what transforms the brittle into a crumbly, brittle like texture that crunches when you bite it. The baking soda causes a reaction in the candy that puffs it up with air allowing it to transform from a hard candy like a lollipop or hard toffee into the more delicate and airy texture of a brittle. Need I mention Bourbon-Bacon Brittle? Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies? What about the Jack Daniels and Bacon infused chocolate […]. This is nothing like a brittle.
This bourbon bacon brittle brings the three gifts of yum to the holidays, Bourbon Bacon Brittle. Lay bacon strips on a foil lined baking sheet. Gently brush the bacon strips with bourbon on both sides.

Sprinkle bacon strips with brown sugar on both sides. Bake the bacon for about minutes until it starts to caramelize and becomes crispy. Remove bacon from the baking sheets and allow to cool. Using kitchen shears, chop the bacon strips into bite sized pieces. Remove and allow to cool. Roughly chop the pecans and set aside. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
At this point, be sure to have all of the remaining ingredients measured and ready to rock, you'll need to move fast once the syrup comes to the candy stage. I combined the bourbon and vanilla. And, I also combined the chopped pecans and bacon together. This helped me move faster later when I added everything to the hot sticky syrup. In a heavy medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the syrup comes to a boil. This is where timing and temperature start to get tricky. Be sure to use a candy thermometer to keep track of the temperature.
Immediately remove from heat. You can drop a small amount of the mixture into very cold water to test, it should separate into hard and brittle threads when it is ready. Quickly stir in the butter, bourbon and vanilla, baking soda, pecans and bacon bites. Be careful as the mixture will start to foam. The foam should quickly subside, at this point you will pour the hot mixture into the prepared baking sheet as quickly and as thin as possible.
I used a wooden spoon to gently spread the mixture out because my pour wasn't too even. The mixture is a hot sticky mess at this point, but it's also a lot of fun to work with! Sprinkle with sea salt and cool the brittle for at least 15 minutes. Once it seems to have set and hardened, you can start breaking it into pieces.
Spicy Maple Candied Bacon
I used a vintage meat tenderizer to break it up and it worked great. Store in a container with a lid, I used mason jars. It should last at least 1 week in a sealed container. Comments Is there something else you can use besides corn syrup? Where did you get that adorable headband?! The maple extract is a great idea. Thanks Kelly, I wish I could take a trip up to Canada to pick some up!
Other than that this is definitely a delicious treat for a gift!! Trackbacks […] knocking out some truly scrumptious and slightly bizarre bacon-laced concoctions!
