Step 1: Bacon!

Of course, let's start with the bacon. I used something readily available in my area and often used to add flavor to soups, chili and beans; bacon ends and pieces. You could use regular sliced bacon just as easily.

You could take my route and your 1/2 pound of bacon can be cut up into a fine chop.
Alternatively, cut the bacon slices into squares or slivers to be used as the final topping.

Brown your bacon over medium low heat until nice a crispy. Drain well into a measuring cup, reserve 1/4 cup for the toffee recipe and save the rest to cook your eggs in tomorrow morning. Don't you dare throw out that liquid gold!

Using paper towels, pat any remaining grease from the bacon crumbles. Set aside.
