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.

Time 1h20m

Yield Cuts into 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

200g dried sour cherries
100ml bourbon
1 tsp cinnamon
50ml maple syrup
6 rashers smoked streaky bacon
your favourite brownie mixture (see Goes well with for our Best-ever brownies recipe)
a little cocoa powder , for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a small pan, warm (don't boil) the cherries in the bourbon, then leave to infuse for at least 20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cinnamon with the maple syrup and brush both sides of the bacon with it. Lay the rashers on a rack set over a roasting tin covered in foil and roast, basting occasionally with the syrup, for about 20 mins until they look nicely browned. Take them out and leave to cool completely on the rack while you make the brownie mixture.
  • Follow your chosen recipe to make the brownie mixture and heat oven to the required temperature. Drain the bourbon-soaked cherries and add them to the brownie mixture. Chop the bacon into little pieces (it will crumble very easily) and add to the mixture too, stirring everything together. Bake as per the recipe, then leave to cool completely before dusting with cocoa and slicing into squares.
