Bacon toffee, anyone?<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n1\/2 lb bacon
\n1 stick butter
\n1\/4 cup water
\n1 cup sugar
\nsalt
\nInstructions
\nCook the bacon in a skillet. Let it cool on paper towels to remove the excess grease, then chop it into bits. The pieces should be about the size of a fingertip. Set aside.
\nPut the water, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the water has boiled off (the mixture will get very bubbly\/frothy first) and the mixture turns a deep golden tan color.
\nRemove from heat, stir in bacon bits, and quickly spread toffee on a silpat or well-oiled baking sheet or piece of marble.
\nLet cool, then break toffee into pieces by covering it with plastic wrap and pounding it with a knife handle or toffee hammer.
\nToffee stores in refrigerator indefinitely.<\/p>\n
