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
