Bulldog Brittle Recipes

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, 10 ½ x 15 ½.
• Cover with graham crackers (whole honey graham crackers).
• Chop 1 cup pecans and sprinkle evenly over crackers.
• In a boiler, melt 1 stick butter and 1 stick of margarine (only this combination will do!).
• Add ½ cup sugar, stirring constantly
• Boil for exactly 2 minutes.
• Pour or spoon over crackers and pecan (I find it better to use a big spoon).
• Bake at 350 for approximately 12 minutes.
• Cool and break into pieces.
• 1 box of graham crackers is enough to make 2 batches of brittle.
• You can also try it with Oatmeal Crunch Graham Crackers or Chocolate Graham Crackers.

Steps:

• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and generously butter it. Working in batches, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then break each slice in half.
• Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until a candy thermometer registers 260 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the butter, nuts and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir once, then continue cooking over medium-high heat, undisturbed, until the syrup turns golden and the candy thermometer registers 285 degrees F, 5 to 10 more minutes. Carefully stir in the prepared bacon, the vanilla and baking soda. (The mixture will foam a bit.) Cook, stirring several times, until the foam subsides and the mixture darkens slightly, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, then carefully tilt to spread it into a thin layer. Use tongs to redistribute the bacon pieces if necessary. Let cool completely, then break into pieces.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven 335 degrees (can't be anymore or less). Spray cooking oil on a cookie sheet with a 1" lip. Lay crackers side by side (DO NOT OVERLAP)in cookie sheet.Sprinkle nuts on top of crackers. In a small saucepan, melt butter until it starts to bubble, then add sugar, and stir for 3 minutes. Then drizzle hot butter sugar mixture over crackers. Bake for 15 minutes. Take out of oven and let cool on counter for 5 minutes. Then put in refrigerator until completely cool. Break into strips. Enjoy!
