Time 1h20m

Yield Cuts into 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

200g dried sour cherries
100ml bourbon
1 tsp cinnamon
50ml maple syrup
6 rashers smoked streaky bacon
your favourite brownie mixture (see Goes well with for our Best-ever brownies recipe)
a little cocoa powder , for dusting

Steps:

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a small pan, warm (don't boil) the cherries in the bourbon, then leave to infuse for at least 20 mins.
Meanwhile, mix the cinnamon with the maple syrup and brush both sides of the bacon with it. Lay the rashers on a rack set over a roasting tin covered in foil and roast, basting occasionally with the syrup, for about 20 mins until they look nicely browned. Take them out and leave to cool completely on the rack while you make the brownie mixture.
Follow your chosen recipe to make the brownie mixture and heat oven to the required temperature. Drain the bourbon-soaked cherries and add them to the brownie mixture. Chop the bacon into little pieces (it will crumble very easily) and add to the mixture too, stirring everything together. Bake as per the recipe, then leave to cool completely before dusting with cocoa and slicing into squares.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The flavors in this recipe really shine through, so it's important to use the best ingredients you can find. Look for a good-quality bourbon with a smooth flavor, thick-cut bacon, and rich, dark chocolate.
Don't overcook the bacon: The bacon should be cooked until it's crispy but not burnt. Otherwise, it will overpower the other flavors in the brownies.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overcooked.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and keep their shape.

Conclusion:

These Bourbon Bacon Brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're rich, chocolatey, and have a hint of smokiness from the bacon. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
