Bacon caramel

[semperfiona]

I made this for our Christmas Day Open House. It's caramel with chopped bacon and almonds, flavored with maple syrup.

I have some ideas for improving it: maybe pecans instead of almonds, maybe no nuts at all. Maybe leave the bacon whole on the bottom of the pan, so that each piece of candy has a big burst of bacony goodness. Maybe use thinner crispier bacon to mitigate the can't-chew-it issues.

But it was a success nonetheless.
