Bacon Peanut Brittle
Report
A delicious dessert that's perfect for the holidays, bacon peanut brittle can be made ahead, leaving you time to toast with friends and family. It can be wrapped up and given as a gift. And best of all it's original, a conversation-starting recipe that's pretty easy to make. Oh yeah, and it tastes awesome.

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into pieces, plus more for the baking sheet and spatula
- 3/4 cup cooked and crumbled thick-sliced bacon (from 6 to 8 slices)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Lightly butter the parchment and a spatula.
- Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, stirring after 2 minutes, until the mixture is bubbly and the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes total.
- Stir in the peanuts and butter. Microwave on high, stopping and stirring every minute, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes total. (If you don’t microwave it long enough, you’re going to end up with taffy rather than brittle.)
- Carefully stir in the bacon, baking soda, and vanilla. (The mixture will bubble. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.) Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it with the spatula, to a 1/4-inch (6-mm) thickness. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- Break the brittle into 1 1/2- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) pieces.
