Now, it's true that her sweet blog is full of sweet and buttery recipes, and we seem to be sympatico in many of our cookbook and baking loves.
But the biggest reason at the moment for my crush is your delicious, sweet-and-salty-and-so-decadently-indulgent Bacon Brittle.
After picking up a sack of this sweet n' salty stuff at the Bakesale for the South at CakeSpy Shop, it was basically love at first bite. More substantial than typical nut brittles, the caramelly sweetness was gorgeously paired by the salty bacon, which also kept the treat from being achingly sweet (a problem with so many brittles!).
Now, Seattle Pastry Girl doesn't sell this sweet treat around town in general, but its sweet and salty deliciousness can be attained at home--I found the recipe on her website.
That's right: make your own Cashew Bacon Brittle at home. Here's the recipe.
