Ingredients

  • 4 cups popped sorghum
  • 1 ½ cups bacon, cooked until crispy, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups pecans, wholes or halves, toasted
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sorghum syrup
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the popped sorghum, chopped bacon, and pecans. Set aside.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, add the brown sugar and sorghum syrup. Bring to a boil and let boil for about 3 minutes then turn off the heat.
  4. Add the baking powder, incorporating thoroughly and carefully as the mixture will bubble and rise.
  5. Once combined, pour the caramel mixture over the popped sorghum mix. Stir well to thoroughly coat the dry mix.
  6. Spread the mixture in an even layer onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
  7. Put the tray in the oven for approximately 1 hour, stirring it every 10-15 minutes. When done the mix should be crisp and the caramel should be set and crystalized onto the dry mix, it will get crunchier as it cools.
  8. Sprinkle the Creole seasoning across the mix and toss to coat. Serve with your favorite
    snacks, drinks, and family fun!
