Bacon Brownies

Hey, if any of y'all make these, let me know what you think.
 
 


Ingredients:
  • 2) 1 ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and drained on paper towels
  • 1/2 cup total, butter and bacon drippings
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup unbleached white flour

  • Directions:
  • Spray an 8" X 8" square baking pan with vegetable spray.
  • Cook bacon, drain on paper towels and crumble in medium pieces. Save bacon grease.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Measure bacon drippings into a 1 cup measure. Add melted butter to that to make 1/2 cup.
  • Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Do not burn. Remove from heat.
  • Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir in sugar until well mixed.
  • Add eggs, vanilla and salt and beat well with spoon.
  • Fold in flour and mix just until smooth.
  • Pour half the batter into prepared baking pan.
  • Sprinkle with half the bacon, and carefully pour the rest of the brownie batter on top.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes, then sprinkle some more bacon on the brownies, reserving at least a handful of bacon for the topping. Return brownies to the oven and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the bacon on top, and cool completely before drizzling with Chocolate Ganache.
  • Cut into 16 squares.

  • I guarantee your satisfaction with these brownies. :-)

    Love,
    Angel

    The baker at the store I work at just made some maple bars with a slice of bacon inside. I didn't get any (drat!), but those who imbibed said is was outstanding.
