Chocolate + beer + bacon = love.
Ingredients
- 12oz oatmeal stout
- 1 cup extra dark unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups dark brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- A crapload of chocolate chips
- 6 thin slices bacon
- 1 heaped tablespoon brown sugar (tightly packed)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Tilt a large bowl and slowly pour the stout in. Mix together the oatmeal stout and the unsweetened cocoa powder. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Add the brown sugar, butter or butter substitute, eggs and vanilla extract and whisk, making sure all the yolks are broken. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Add the flour, salt and a handful (or four) of chocolate chips and stir just until blended. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Pour into a greased 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 inch baking pan. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out relatively clean. | |
| Step 6 | |
| While the brownie is baking, place 6 strips of thin bacon in a cold skillet, then turn burner on to medium heat. | |
| Step 7 | |
| Cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, turning every two minutes and draining off grease as it forms. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Lay cooked bacon on a plate covered with paper towels and let drain. | |
| Step 9 | |
| Take the slightly cooled bacon and chop into small pieces. | |
| Step 10 | |
| Add the bacon back into the pan (wipe the pan with a dry paper towel to remove as much grease as possible) along with a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar. | |
| Step 11 | |
| Turn heat to medium-high and stir constantly until the sugar melts and coats all the bacon (about three minutes). | |
| Step 12 | |
| Remove immediately and spread on a piece of parchment paper. | |
| Step 13 | |
| When the brownie is almost done cooking, sprinkle the caramelized bacon crumbles all over the top, then cover with foil and let rest for five minutes. | |
