Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ½ cup melted butter
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• ¼ pound bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 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.

Step 3

Mix melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix in eggs.

Step 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.

Step 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.
