Bacon Brittle
Ingredients
Amt.	Measure	Ingredient



12	slices cooked	bacon, chopped and cooked and drained of fat
2	cups	sugar - Organic cane juice crystals
3/4	cup	corn syrup, light
1/4	cup	pure Vermont maple syrup
1/2	cup (8 fl oz)	water
2	cups, halves and whole	peanuts
1 1/2	tablespoons	butter
1 1/2	teaspoons	vanilla extract
2	teaspoons	baking soda
1/3	tablespoon	red pepper flakes, crushed

Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Cook bacon until very crispy. Drain and dry. Chop into bits and put aside.
2	Grease large baking pan.
3	In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water, and cook over medium heat to thread stage, 230 degrees. Add the peanuts. Stir and cook to hard-crack stage, about to 301 to 302 degrees, or until a small amount of candy dropped into a bowl of cold water becomes hard and brittle.
4	Once the candy is at the hard-crack stage, immediately remove from heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, bacon and baking soda until blended. The mixture will start foaming when the baking soda is added. Pour the candy onto the greased pan. With two forks, pull the peanut brittle out to a large rectangle, spreading the candy to about 1/4 inch thick. Once it is cool, break the candy into pieces. It is important to store in a tightly covered container at room temperature.
