BACON BRITTLE

Steps:

• 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.
• Immediately remove from the heat.
• Stir in the butter, vanilla, baking soda, pecans and bacon bits.
• Watch out, as 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 at least 10 minutes before breaking into pieces.
• Store in a covered container.
