Recipe done in Partnership with McCormick Grill Mates Bacon
I've kept this recipe a secret for almost a decade. I'm not really sure why I was so scared to share it, but here it is. Sure it's a blondie recipe, but I've been known to eat these bad boys for breakfast by themselves or sometimes as a sundae. Between the candied bacon, toffee chips and pecans it can be a sinful breakfast or a rich dessert.
McCormick Grill Mates has launched 4 new bacon varieties. Their thick cut, premium bacon comes in four delicious flavors: Ultimate Bacon, Montreal Steak, Smoky Applewood and Brown Sugar Bourbon. It is currently available at Sedano’s and other independent grocery retailers. Ask your grocer if you don’t see it!
Ingredients
- Bacon
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Eggs
- Brown sugar separated
- Salted butter
- Vanilla extract
- Pure maple syrup
- Chopped pecans
- Toffee chips
Directions
In a shallow pan, lay the bacon out and sprinkle ¼ cup of brown sugar over the uncooked bacon.
Bake bacon until dark golden brown, about 8 minutes then turn it over and sprinkle ¼ cup of brown sugar over the other side of the bacon. Bake for another 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to rack and cool. The bacon can be prepared unto 4 hours ahead.
- While the bacon is cooling, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pecans in one bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and sugar, slowly add in vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour butter and sugar mixture into dry ingredients and whisk in one egg a a time.
Fold in toffee chips. Lastly, chop the cooled candied bacon and gently fold it into the batter.
- Pour mixture into a 9x9 baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes and allow to cool completely before cutting.
I personally like using them as the base for a kick-ass dessert including vanilla ice cream and homemade salted caramel.
Variations
Like some chocolate with your candied bacon? Add ½ a cup of dark chocolate chips to the batter.
Have a nut allergy? Simply omit the pecans from the recipe.
Storage
These candied bacon blondies will keep unto 3 days in an air tight container, but we both know they won't last that long.
