Maple Bacon Brownies are sprinkled with bits of maple bacon that is baked leaving its juice ooze into the center. Later topped with a sticky caramelized maple glaze that is sure to leave you craving for more!
I feel really guilty. Like, terribly guilty. I ate more of this than I should have. I really don’t know which is worse as far as my weakness, brownies or cake? Either way, eating about half of this proved me wrong in my ever lasting thought of how much I disliked bacon. **gasp** Shocking, I now right?! Yes, it’s true. I’m one of the rare ones.
However, I now have a whole new outlook on maple bacon and I know now how I like it. The fattier, the better. Good thing this recipe is adaptable to where if you want crispier bacon, go right ahead. I just like mine super soft and juicy to the point where maple glistens over the top and oozes as it’s bitten into.
Funny, I would have never thought to make this but one day as I watched a cooking show that featured restaurant owners around the US demonstrate a recipe of their most favorite dish, this was one of them. Immediately I was floored at how decadent theirs looked, which did look better than mine, in case you wondered. Theirs resembled a pudding like brownie-cake with bacon and topped with a chocolaty maple syrup. I guess this is something I could have done as well especially on my Chocolate Fudge Cake. Next time… for sure!
