Bacon Browines

Going to a housewarming party today and we are to bring something with bacon in it.  I chose Bacon Brownies.  Why?  I don't know.  Thought I would bring something different, I guess.  Something that no other normal person would bring.  This is not a recipe that I made up, I found the recipe here.  There were some good reviews for it so I thought, why not?

Here is the recipe for Bacon Brownies
(taken directly from Allrecipes.com, click here for original)

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. 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.
3. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix in eggs.
4. 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.
5. 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.

They were a hit.  (forgot to take pictures, they looked like normal brownies) Saved a few for RT and the boys.  RT ate them all and said they were great.
