Maybe Cadillac will be one to try this since he makes such beautiful bacon.
Bacon Brittle – courtesy of “Everything Tastes Better With Bacon.”

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (~2 ounces) chopped pecans
1/3 to 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (6 to 8 ounces uncooked)

Grease or butter a large nonstick baking sheet.
In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the syrup comes to a boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Increase the heat to high and cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 290 degrees F. Immmediately remove from heat.
Stir in the butter, vanilla, baking soda, pecans, and bacon bits. Watch out, the mixture will foam. When the foam subsides, pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet as thinly as possible. Do not use a spatula. Cool for at least 10 minutes before breaking into pieces. Store in a covered container for as long it lasts. (Not long enough.)

I will let you know. Since I am on a low sugar and starch diet, I may ask my friend who gave me the recipe to make it and I will taste it. Another person on the Forum said it is addictive. I would guess it isn't any worse than sprinkling brown sugar over bacon strips and putting it in the oven
8-14. My friend made this for her husband over the weekend.She said he loved it and she said once you get over it looking like dog vom--, it tastes pretty good. Men are supposed to be more visual than women but apparently this one didn't mind the appearance. HA! Kathy
