Honey Whiskey Bacon Walnut Brownies, insanely inspirational

So, back when I first started blogging, I posted about some whiskey brownies.  Now, these were pretty darn spectacular.  However, this last weekend That Guy and family were in town and Mrs. 45er and I brought over some bacon brownies from a local restaurant.  They were inspiring and I wondered how I could make it even better.  Then I remembered these brownies.  Thoughts started hatching and now we have this to deal with at the house:

The final product and...

the final result

So, from the original link you have the recipe.  A little twist was added by using Bushmill's Irish Honey Whiskey.  Now, the big addition is properly cooked bacon.  Slowly cooked until it is nice and crispy so you can crumble it up.  As far as the amount of bacon to use for the recipe, I would say as much as you can get away with.  It is also best to keep the cooked bacon separate until ready to serve.  If you top the whole thing, the moisture from the brownies may make the bacon soggy and/or chewy.  Mrs. 45er and I just had to try a test piece and I can tell you that you have to try and make this.

Even if you don't go this crazy with the brownies, you should try the brownie recipe.  These are a really simple, scratch-made brownie that I was pretty happy with.  However, the whiskey sure does soak in and soften up those harder edges of the brownie.

Enjoy.
