Receta Beer Bacon Brittle and a Delicious Giveaway
We met Sarah Marx Feldner, owner of Treat Bake Shop, over a year ago. It was before her delicious candied spiced pecans were featured in "Martha Stewart Living" magazine... or named among the "10 locally made products every cream city household should have on hand" by M Magazine. In fact, when we met her, she was nonchalantly doing a tasting at our local food coop.
Even though we're the type of people who would ordinarily make our own spiced pecans, we had to admit that Sarah's recipe was pretty amazing.
Crispy, sugary, spicy... they're everything you'd want and more.
In fact, we kept finding ourselves picking up a jar here and there -- for that impromptu cheese plate at the holidays, to add to our next batch of brownies... Honestly, we bought at least a jar or two just for snacking.
As our esteem for her product grew, we got more and more excited about the prospect of show-casing it on the blog. But how? We wanted to create something fun and tasty that really show-cased the great flavor of the pecans...
So, we started thinking about some of our favorite ingredients. What's more classic than the combination of beer and nuts? And isn't it true that bacon makes everything better?
We made up a batch of this brittle, and it completely blew us away. It also won over the hearts of the readers over at Go Bold with Butter, our latest freelancing project.
This brittle brings
together the flavors of game day staples like beer, spiced pecans, and bacon
into a crunchy, salty-sweet snack that your guests will find as delicious as it
is addictive.
Quite frankly, melted
butter and sugar never tasted so good.
Of course, it's not really fair to talk about Sarah and her awesome pecans without offering you a chance to try them out for yourself. So, get your commenting fingers ready.
Make bacon beer brittle... or simply eat them out of hand. Whatever you decide to do, it will be fabulous.
