Chocolate Brownie with Maple Bacon Salted Caramel

Chocolate Brownie with Maple Bacon Salted Caramel

These chocolate brownies with maple bacon salted caramel are rich, fudgy, and finished with a smoky-sweet caramel sauce. The brownie base uses eggs, sugar, melted butter, cocoa powder, and flour, while the caramel combines sugar, butter, heavy cream, and Maple Bacon Infused Sea Salt. That salt is what makes the dessert distinctive: it balances the caramel’s sweetness and adds a savory maple-bacon note that works surprisingly well with chocolate. Serve the brownies warm with extra caramel, ice cream, coffee, or as part of a holiday dessert tray.

INGREDIENTS

For the brownies (8 servings):

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup of sugar

  • 4 oz of melted butter

  • ½ cup of cocoa powder

  • ¼ cup of flour

For the salted caramel sauce:

  • 2 cup of sugar

  • 4 oz of butter

  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream

  • 1 tsp of Maple Bacon Infused Sea Salt

Why Maple Bacon Infused Sea Salt Works in This Salted Caramel Brownie

Maple Bacon Infused Sea Salt works in salted caramel brownies because caramel already needs salt to balance its sweetness. The maple-bacon flavor adds a smoky-sweet finish that makes the sauce feel more layered, while the sea salt keeps the chocolate from tasting flat. Add it once the caramel is smooth and glossy, then taste before adding any extra salt.
