Bacon Toffee

Bacon is in everything lately and even heard something about Toffee Bacon so I thought I would try it using one of my husband's favorite toffee recipes. It takes about 15 minutes to make and it's super yummy. I brought this to a party the other night and it was gone in no time. Plus the guys loved it too since there's bacon in it. Who doesn't love bacon?

Bacon Toffee







Makes 2 pounds

Directions

  1. In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
  2. While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  3. As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, add 3/4 cup bacon into the toffee mixure. Pour mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the chocolate.
  4. Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
