🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Steps
Oven: 350F.
Grease a standard muffin pan (we like jumbo but not mini, they'll get to crispy).
Fry the bacon, remove and pat dry. The bacon should be crispy but without char- any chunks of fat that are still white should be discarded.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a double broiler.
Cool slightly, then whisk in the sugar and salt.
Add the eggs, one at a time.
Sift the flour and cocoa together, then combine with the chocolate.
Stir in the pieces of bacon and chocolate.
Bake ~30 min., making sure to allow brownie cupcakes to cool before removing.
