Sweet and Salty Bacon Brownies
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Fudge brownie mix - 1 box
- Ingredients called for on the brownie mix package
- 6 strips Bacon - cooked until crisp and crumbled
- Optional Topping
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix package directions. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate and allow it to cool completely. Crumble into small pieces.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions.
- Fold most of the crumbled bacon into the batter, reserving a small amount for the top.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the batter. If desired, add a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Bake according to the package directions, adding a few extra minutes if needed, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Crisp bacon works best in this recipe because it stays crunchy after baking.
- Fold the bacon into the batter instead of layering it on top to distribute the flavor throughout the brownies.
- A teaspoon of maple syrup can complement the sweet-and-savory flavor combination.
- For the richest results, choose a fudge-style brownie mix.
