Bacon Brownies
1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Fry bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until nearly crisp, about 5
minutes. Add honey and stir until the foaming subsides. Remove the
bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate to cool.
Mix melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix in eggs.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl; add to the egg
mixture. Fold bacon and chocolate chips into the mixture; pour into the
prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center
comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Allow brownies to cool for 20 minutes
before cutting into squares.
Serves: 12 (or in SOME people's case, serves 1) ;-)
Amaretto Brownies
1 1/2 cups chocolate syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
3 drops almond extract
1 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan.
Mix chocolate syrup, flour, white sugar, 1/2 cup butter, eggs, vanilla
extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth; spread into prepared
baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have
started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 45 minutes. Allow
to cool completely.
Beat confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup butter, amaretto liqueur, and almond
extract in a bowl until smooth; spread over cooled brownies.
Stir chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons butter together in a saucepan
over low heat until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool slightly
and drizzle over frosted brownies.
