SWEET AND SALTY BROWNIES

Think you already have the best brownie recipe and don’t need to look for another one? Have you had a brownie that is sweet, chocolatey, fudgy, salty, and bacony?

Yes, I said salty and bacony. Or is it bacon-y? Either way, Bacon Salt Brownies are here.

Do you remember when I posted on how to entertain for brunch with a Bacon Bar? If not, go back and read it pronto!!

In that post, I made a couple flavors of bacon, some cherry bacon jam, and bacon salt. I only used a few pinches of the bacon salt for my undeviled eggs, so I still have almost 1/2 a cup left.

I am using it on my brussels sprouts, my green beans, my salad greens, in my salad dressings, and now in my sweets.  Wouldn’t want to waste it now would I?

BACON SALT BROWNIES INGREDIENTS

• semisweet chocolate
• butter
• sugar
• eggs
• vanilla
• flour

HOW TO MAKE BACON SALT BROWNIES

FIRST: Prepare the bacon salt. Add salt and cooked bacon to food processor. Pulse until the bacon is in tiny crumbles. Remove and store in the fridge for up to a month.

SECOND: Preheat the oven to 350F. Melt the butter (and bacon fat if using) and chocolate in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave. Stir to combine. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to combine.

THIRD: Add the flour and just stir to combine. Do not over mix. Pour half the batter into an 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle a 1/2 teaspoon of bacon salt over the mix. Add the remaining batter to the pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon bacon salt.

FOURTH: Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs. I prefer mine a little bit underdone vs dry and hard. Let cool completely. Cut and eat!!!

TAPAS TIPS & TRICKS

• replace some of the melted butter with bacon fat. 2 tablespoons is the perfect amount.
• don’t over mix the batter.
• bake only until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. Do not over cook.

Sweet, dense, fudgy brownies with a hint of salt and the taste of bacon in the background make these bacon salt brownies the perfect dessert!  

If you want to use a box brownie mix you can! I love the Dunkin’ Hines Dark chocolate Fudge brownie mix.

Use the mix, 1/3 cup water, 1 egg, and 1/3 cup oil substituting 2 tablespoons of the oil with melted bacon fat. 1/3 cup is the same as 5 1/3 tablespoons. Use 2 tablespoons of bacon fat and 3 1/3 tablespoons canola oil.
