Ingredients

For The Brownies:

4 ounces semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup butter melted (replace 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons bacon fat if wanted)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon bacon salt

For the bacon salt

1/2 cup salt
3 pieces of cooked bacon

Instructions

Make the bacon salt by adding salt and cooked bacon to food processor.
Pulse until the bacon is in tiny crumbles.
Remove and store in the fridge for up to a month.
For the Bacon Salt Brownies preheat the oven to 350F.
Melt the butter (and bacon fat if using) and chocolate in a medium-sized bowl in the microwave.
Stir to combine.
Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Stir to combine.
Add the flour and just stir to combine. Do not overmix.
Pour half the batter into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. (This will make a 9x13 pan but they will be thin)
Sprinkle a 1/2 teaspoon of bacon salt over the mix.
Add the remaining batter to the pan.
Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon bacon salt.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs. I prefer mine a little bit underdone vs dry and hard.
Let cool completely.
Cut and eat!!!

Notes

Replace some of the melted butter with bacon fat. 2 tablespoons is the perfect amount.
Don’t over mix the batter.
Bake only until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. Do not over cook.
