Having lived in Vermont for over twenty years, I consider maple syrup a magical ingredient. I subbed in the real stuff for the corn syrup in this recipe and it worked like a charm. I believe the fat from the bacon works as butter does in most brittle recipes, but I did cook the syrup to 295° since it was already amber colored from the maple syrup. Yum, yum!

In reply to Valerie. SO many factors go into the perfect brittle, I always struggle with it too. Just keep trying, it could be altitude, temperature variations etc. I haven't made this since.. haha! ;) Happy Holidays!

Hi! Made this for my fil for Xmas, but it didn’t harden…what did I do wrong? Any way to fix it? I think I will just have to try again?

In reply to aaron. the corn syrup provides more than sweet. It prevents crystallization of the sugar. If you cannot do corn then I would add some lemon or cream of tartar. Without the corn syrup read up on everything you can about avoiding crystallization and then proceed.

In reply to Kim.

I was wondering the same thing,and why she wouldn’t just put the bacon on the tray then pour the hot syrup over bacon when it is done. I believe cooking the bacon more might soften it, so I’m going to try this fabulous looking recipe…Thanks for sharing…

For best results, you really do need to cook the mixture to 300 degrees. The way sugar reacts with heat is simple science. If you turn up your heat too high, it will burn. If you don’t cook it long enough, it will not firm up. Candy making takes time and patience. I think that’s why people make it for holidays and special occasions….because it’s kind of a pain in the neck!
