I tried these at a friend's. She didn't have the recipe so I played with trying to make them until I reached what I think is a close approximation of the original.
1/4 lb. bacon, diced
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch baking pan.
Fry bacon until just crisp, add honey and stir until it stops foaming. Set aside on plate to cool.
Melt butter, stir in sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
Sift flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder into egg mixture, stir.
Fold in bacon and pour into baking dish. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool, cut, and enjoy.
Sorry but IMHO this is just WRONG - it's in the same realm as ruining a perfectly good Canadian Bacon (see - still on topic!) pizza by putting pineapple on it. Bacon is a main course dish - chocolate is the basis of the food pyramid and should not be messed up with a primary protein. Leave the bacon where it belongs - with things like eggs and BLTs!
ReplyDeleteActually, the bacon and chocolate set each other off nicely. And with this you can get four of the five food groups (sweet, salty, crunchy and chewy) in one dish.
