    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.

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
