Buttermilk fudge with bacon and pecans

Serves 10

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

400 g streaky bacon
800 g sugar
2 cups buttermilk
230 g butter
100 g pecans, toasted and chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Place the bacon on a baking tray and cook until crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool and roughly chop, then set aside.

Place the sugar, buttermilk and butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 8 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has turned a light caramel colour.

Pour the mixture into a large bowl and mix at a high speed using an electric hand-mixer until the fudge is thick. It should be cool enough to touch without burning yourself.

Fold the bacon and pecans through the fudge mixture and pour into a greased dish. Chill for 2 hours or until completely cool and set. Cut into squares before serving.
