Beer Bacon Brittle
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup nut brown ale, preferably oak barrel aged
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
Rounded 1/2 cup crisped rice cereal
Rounded 1/2 cup spiced pecans
Lightly butter a baking sheet and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar, beer and salt and continue to stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring sugar mixture to a boil and cook to hard crack stage, 300°F.
Remove from heat and stir in bacon, rice cereal and pecans before quickly pouring onto prepared cookie sheet.
Let brittle cool to room temperature, then crack into bite size pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
