Steps:
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and generously butter it. Working in batches, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then break each slice in half.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until a candy thermometer registers 260 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter, nuts and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir once, then continue cooking over medium-high heat, undisturbed, until the syrup turns golden and the candy thermometer registers 285 degrees F, 5 to 10 more minutes. Carefully stir in the prepared bacon, the vanilla and baking soda. (The mixture will foam a bit.) Cook, stirring several times, until the foam subsides and the mixture darkens slightly, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, then carefully tilt to spread it into a thin layer. Use tongs to redistribute the bacon pieces if necessary. Let cool completely, then break into pieces.
BOURBON BACON BRITTLE
Steps:
- To MAKE THE CANDIED OSCAR MAYER BACON:
- Heat oven to 400ºF. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set oven-safe cooking rack inside. Arrange bacon in single layer on rack.
- Top bacon with 2 Tbsp. bourbon whiskey, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes per package instructions. (Alternatively, you can bake bacon in a preheated 300°F oven for 50 to 60 minutes.) Cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop the candied bacon. Set aside.
- To MAKE THE BRITTLE:
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter and corn syrup. Bring to a boil. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the caramel is light brown and reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. (Note that around 250°F the mixture will start to thicken.)
- Remove saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the remaining tablespoon of bourbon, plus the vanilla and baking soda. Stir in the nuts, then immediately scrape the brittle onto a lined baking sheet. Spread the brittle into a thin, even layer. Work fast - it will set quickly. Sprinkle with the chopped candied bacon.
- After the brittle cools for at least 30 minutes, you can break it into large chunks. (Note: This is best if eaten the same day it is made.)
