Ingredients
8 strips bacon
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 cups raw almonds
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, chop the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, pour off most of the bacon fat from the hot skillet and add the butter. Add the sugar, five-spice powder, cayenne and salt and stir until the sugar dissolves and everything is combined. Add the almonds and stir to coat.
- Spread the nuts on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Stir in the bacon and serve warm or at room temperature.
