This sweet and savory treat is another one of the recipes here you will either think is absolutely disgusting or absolutely fabulous. I think it's absolutely fabulous seeing as I ate almost this entire batch myself. My cousin --"Hi Darcie!" believes if tossed with chocolate chips that I may have found the cure for PMS. Honestly, I think agree with her. If your an adventurous eater or a bacon lover it's definitely something to try at least once.
Ingredients
6 slices bacon, cooked, fat reserved
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 cup corn kernels
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt to taste
Directions
- Cook bacon until crisp and set aside to cool.
- Once cool, chop into small bits and toss with maple syrup.
- Carefully measure out a 1/4 cup of bacon grease. If you don’t have 1/4 cup add vegetable or canola oil to make up the difference.
- In a large pan over medium high heat, heat the bacon fat and oil mixture.
- Add the corn kernels, sugar and salt then stir to mix.
- Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and pop stove top style -- shaking often until popping stops.
- Salt once more if needed and stir with a large spoon.
- Pour in the bacon and maple mixture. Toss some more and serve.
Servings
About 10 cups popped
A Broken Oven Tip
I'm going with the above recommendation from my cousin. Try tossing in a cup of chocolate chips or drizzle with melted chocolate candy. I'm thinking dark chocolate would taste best.
