Pig Brittle? I'd try this for sure....
From Highways magazine Jan 2010:
2 cups granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons butter and extra to grease the pan
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 strips of smoky bacon
1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle or cayenne
Set out a cookie sheet and grease it with butter. Cook the bacon any way you like until it is super crispy. Dry with a paper towel and let cool. Chop as finely as possible (think dust) Reserve.
In a saucepan over medium high heat, add sugar. Stir constantly for approximately four minutes or until sugar melts into a light-golden liquid. (If lumps develop, keep stirring. They'll melt away) Keep stirring for approximately two more minutes or until the liquid turns the color or butter-scotch. (Don't walk away!!!) Remove from heat and immediately stir in the 2T of butter. Then add the baking soda and mix thoroughly. Stir in the bacon and chipotle. Pour onto the greased cookie sheet and let cool until hard, approximately 15 minutes. Break into bite sized pieces. Store in an airtight jar and guard with your life.
And let the rest of us know if you make this and if it is as good as it sounds.:grin:
