Hello, Lover! ;;-)

I find myself infatuated with brownies of ANY kind. And Bacon. Who doesn't love bacon? And CHOCOLATE...be still my beating heart. This lady seems to know what she's talkin' about, so in learning from her experience, I plan to reference her work here to form my own risqué concoction. Muahahahaaaa....

Bourbon Bacon Brownies  

As prepared by Girl Versus Dough

The men in my family aren’t into sweets.

When they have a craving, it usually falls in with all things salty, like beef jerky, potato chips, wings, cheese dip, and bacon. Sure, they’ll eat sweet foods like cookies or brownies – but they’re secretly pining for a pizza on the side.

When it comes to the sweeter side of things, though, these Bourbon Bacon Brownies make the cut for “dude food.”



This chocolaty creation is the manliest of all brownies. Made with dark chocolate, crumbled bacon and a splash of bourbon, these brownies mean business. They’re not for the fainthearted or flavor fearful. They render such a strong medley of flavors in your mouth, you’ll wonder if you’re eating a brownie, a handful of bacon or a shot of bourbon. Good news, my friends: It’s all three in one delicious concoction!
