THIS BRITTLE PIGGY



This Brittle Piggy image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking sheet
16 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups mixed cocktail nuts
Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

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.

Categories     Nuts

Time 40m

Yield 1 pan of brittle, 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 1/2 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts (if salted, reduce salt to 1/4 teaspoon)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (one stick)
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place bacon on a rack over a cookie sheet and cook until crispy, about 15 minutes. Reserve bacon fat. The recipe calls for 8 tablespoons of butter (fat) - replace as much of butter as you have bacon fat. Once bacon is done, drain on paper towels and chop into bits.
  • Place the sugar and maple syrup in a large, heavy saucepan over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sugar begins to melt. Lower the heat to medium-high and keep stirring just until the sugar is melted. Stop stirring and watch for it to turn a medium caramel color. About 10 minutes total.
  • Stir in peanuts, and then bacon fat and butter. Then add Old Bay, cayenne and dry mustard. Allow peanuts to cook for about two minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the bacon.
  • Turn the mixture out onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and spread it evenly to the desired thickness with a wooden spoon or stiff rubber spatula. Sprinkle salt on top, while brittle is still warm.
  • Allow to cool completely--at least one hour--then break the brittle into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature. If your brittle isn't brittle enough to break into pieces, pop it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, until it hardens enough to snap easily.
