Greetings From The Kitchen of Castle Baconia!
Teddy the King here…..
It’s Saturday and you know that means it’s time for me to whip up a wonderful baconized recipe for you! I’ll give you the list of ingredients and the “HOW TO” and then you take it from there and WOW your family and friends with another BACON DELIGHT direct from the Castle.
This one is FUN………..you just have to be extra careful because this gets EVER so hot in the microwave……………so be sure and use pot holders when you take your mixture out of the microwave – anything involving sugar gets HOT HOT HOT!
Today I’m making:
Microwave Bacon Brittle
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 pound bacon (or more if you’re a REAL bacon freak!)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon bacon grease
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease. Crumble bacon once drained and slightly cooled.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine sugar, syrup, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave oven until bubbling, about 4 minutes.
- Stir bacon, pecans, reserved bacon grease, and vanilla extract through the sugar mixture; heat in microwave oven for 3 minutes more. Immediately add baking soda and stir just until foamy.
- Working quickly, spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until set, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
EASY PEASY!
You’ve gotta try this one…………….is it good? You betcha. Easy? You can see from above that it’s easy as pie (well not pie – brittle but then it’s ALL good right???).
YES INDEED WE DO!
So give this one a whirl………….you’ll be GLAD you did! Happy Saturday from Baconia……………………..
Let Them Eat Bacon!

A last minute note! If we have not been commenting on your blog as USUAL, it’s because we are having the same problems many of you have told US about – comments aren’t “taking” after we’ve made them on your blog…….apparently this is a BIG PROBLEM with Blogger/BlogSpot AND WordPress blogs as well. Hopefully the programmers can figure something out – but in the meantime we don’t want you to think we are no longer following you or reading your blogs – WE ARE! We just can’t comment!
Hugs from Pam and Teddy too
You come up with the coolest bacon recipes, Teddy! I wish I could get my human to try at least one.

Hi Teddy, I just saw your comment on my post today, and I wanted to let you know that my human switched you over to our weekly blog list because the feedburner daily list is so unpredictable these days. If you are not getting the weekly list (which comes out on Tuesday mornings), you may need to look in your spam folder. If you have a whitelist, you should put webmastercat AT sparklecat DOT com on it. Thanks!

Thanks for the hints dear Summer! It’s frustrating not getting reminders – my Mom says at her age she needs reminders (!!). Thanks for putting us on your weekly blog list – we will look for it on Tuesday!!! There hasn’t been a thing in our spam other than actual spam – we keep an eye on that just in case someone slips in there by mistake. We appreciate you and your human’s help dear friend!
Love, Teddy

OhMyGosh, CH is going to love this! He already makes peanut brittle in the microwave with this recipe using redskin peanuts. Adding BACON will be gourmet! He does manage to get the goo all over the countertops and it hardens like concrete… well worth it though! Good Morning, Vir-gin-i-A! MissouREEEEEEEEEEEEE is warming up!

Vir-gin-I-A is warming up to close to 60 today! HEAT WAVE! We will try not to let it go to our heads though because there’s a lot more WINTER to be had but these little spells of “HOPE” mean a lot yes? If CH makes peanut brittle already then tossing in some nice crunchy bacon will be EASY PEASY! Hope you enjoy your warm up and just FYI, tomorrow Mom is making sausage gravy and biscuits here for breakfast…….DIDYA HEAR THAT CH????????????
