Step 1:
Once the bacon's finished cooking, blot it well and remove any stubborn fatty bits that refuse to become crispy. Then trim it down into large-ish bacon bits that'd work nicely in a Caesar salad. Reserve in paper towel to promote further fat drainage.
Add to a deep saucepan the following:
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup ****er
1/2 cup heavy cream
3-4 oz bourbon or maple syrup.
