Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 8 -12 slices bacon, crispy thick-cut

Instructions

  1. Reserve 1/2 cup of the heavy cream. Combine all the other ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Stir to combine. Set on medium high heat. Stir occasionally and cook until 240*. The candy is now at firm-ball stage. Remove from the stove and carefully stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cream. Place back on the heat and continue to cook to 245*. Immediately remove from heat and stir in a portion of the crispy bacon. Pour the caramel into a buttered dish (the size depends on how thick you want your caramels. 8x8 = thick caramels 9x13 = thin caramels. You can also use a cookie sheet). Scatter the remaining bacon on top. Let set for at least 3 hours before cutting.
