Low Sugar Almond Turkey Bacon Brittle

• 6 slices Turkey Bacon
• 1 cup Splenda
• 1 cup Corn Syrup
• 1/4 cups Fat Free Butter
• 1/2 cups Water
• 2-1/2 cups Almonds
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda, Sifted

1. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a large saute pan and cook over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
2. Butter a jellyroll pan or a slab of marble and set aside. Combine Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking, corn syrup, fat free butter and water in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook the blend over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking dissolves and the mixture begins to boil.
3. At this point, reduce the temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the candy thermometer reaches 275u0b0F. This takes about 20 minutes. Then add almonds and add in bacon, then continue cooking until the candy thermometer reaches 295u0b0F. This should take an additional 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly sprinkle sifted baking soda over the mixture, stirring it until it is blended.
4. Pour the liquid into the prepared pan or on the marble slab, spreading it thinly. Allow the mixture to cool completely until it forms a hard slab, then break it into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
