This recipe is super easy, requires minimal time, ingredients and efforts. The hardest part is watching so you don't burn your toffee and then not eating the entire pan of goodies!
If you love salty, caramel sweets then this recipe is definitely for you!
You will need
Toffee:1 stick of butter
¼ cup sugar
1 TSP salt
2-3 strips of thick cut bacon
1/4 cup unpopped popcorn
Directions
- Chop bacon into thin strips.
- Cook bacon in a deep pot until just crispy. Remove from the pot, but leave the grease to pop the popcorn in! (a bit decadent, I know. You could always use butter or coconut oil but if you're already making a treat like this why not go all out.)
- Pop popcorn in the bacon grease, remove unpopped kernels.
- Mix sugar, butter and salt in a deep pan, stirring occasionally until butter has melted.
- Once butter has melted and the mixture boils, turn the heat down to medium-low and keep an eye on your mixture until it turns a dark amber color. (Taste frequently so you don't over heat. It can get bitter when overcooked. We like our caramel just a touch bitter, but many people prefer just plain, sweet, creamy, caramel.)
- Take the toffee off of the heat
- Spread bacon and popcorn onto baking paper on a cookie sheet. Pour toffee over the top. Sprinkle with bit more salt.
- Place in the freezer to set.
Eat. Savor. Enjoy
