Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment
8 slices bacon
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups lightly crushed potato chips with ridges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a 3-inch overhang on all sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
  • Put the bacon in a cold, medium skillet, then turn the heat to medium high and cook, stirring often, until very crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Reserve the fat in the skillet.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet with the bacon fat over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until starting to dissolve, about 1 minute.
  • Beat together the cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, salt and eggs in a large bowl until smooth, then beat in the butter mixture. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips, half of the bacon and 1 cup of the potato chips. Scoop into the prepared baking pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon and chips, pressing them lightly onto the surface of the batter.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with a few crumbs adhering, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan, then transfer to a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.

VIRGIN CHOCOLATE CHUNK BROWNIES WITH MAPLE & BENTON BACON



Virgin Chocolate Chunk Brownies With Maple & Benton Bacon image

I created this recipe using whole grain pastry flour from Bobs Red Mill and Olive Oil from California Olive Ranch for a promo I was doing for them on my website 30A EATS. It was a big hit! Any Bacon or Maple Syrup will do, and if you want to leave out the Bacon you can. I love the sweet and salty flavor it gave to the brownies.

BACON BROWNIES



Bacon Brownies image

My friend Cindy told about these brownies late one night. She had seen a similar dessert on the television show Bacon Paradise. So I decided to fool around with the idea a bit. With many trial and error recipes,this is the final product, try it! Bacon + Chocolate= Yum-O!

Provided by Christine Schnepp

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 oz unsweetened chocolate
8 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
6 strips of bacon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the brown sugar in a medium size bowl. Doing one strip of bacon at a time, put bacon in the bowl and totally coat with the brown sugar. Place the bacon flat on parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until all are done. Bake for about 12 minutes. Turn each piece of bacon over and return to the oven and bake an additional 12 minutes or until the bacon is well cooked and crisp. Remove from oven and set on rack to cool. Do not use paper towels, ect. the bacon will stick. Chop the bacon into small pieces.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8" x 8" or 9" x 9" metal pan with cooking spray. Chop chocolate and butter and place in a microwave safe dish. Carefully microwave for approximately 1 minute. Keep checking and stirring because everyone's microwaves are different.Let the chocolate-butter mixture cool slightly then whisk in the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time. Sift the flour and cocoa into the bowl and combine. Sprinkle in bacon bits, stir again, and add to your prepared pan. Bake 30-40 minutes. They're finished when a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out free of anything but brownie crumbs. Cool, cut, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A high percentage of cacao solids (70% or higher) will give the brownies a rich, intense chocolate flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • If you want to add extra bacon flavor, sprinkle some cooked bacon bits on top of the brownies before baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate and bacon. You could use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate. You could also use different types of bacon, such as applewood smoked bacon or peppered bacon.

Conclusion:

Bacon brownies are a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your brownies gooey or cakey, with nuts or without, bacon brownies are a perfect treat for any occasion.
