Bacon Bourbon Brownies

So, for Labor Day weekend, my husband and I went for a visit to friends of ours in Oneonta for some fun, and games.  RPGs to be more accurate.  When we lived in NY, I would bake a treat every week, and bring it with us.  Because we live so far away now, I wanted to bring a couple of things.  I made the peanut butter cookie sandwiches that I made earlier this summer, but I also brought Bacon Bourbon Brownies.

A friend of mine posted a recipe for these on Facebook, and I decided to give them a try.  I modified my Eggnog Brownies, using some bourbon instead of brandy, and using bacon instead of almonds/nuts.

Now, according to the recipes I found online, I needed 1/4 pound  of bacon, but alas I only had 4 slices.

Even with a sever lack of bacon, these brownies were still very fudgy and boozy, two things that I like in a desert.  Sometimes while eating these you would get a sudden taste of bacon.  However, should I make these again, I would go back on the bourbon, and cooke the bacon crispier, maybe have it baked on top of the brownies instead of inside of them.

Enjoy!
