PEANUT BUTTER BEER BACON BROWNIES

Moist, dark fudge brownies with the smoky allure of crunchy bacon bits — what a tempting combination! Bacon, baked with brown sugar to "candy" it, is sprinkled atop the brownie batter just before baking. The result? Salt, sweet, and a little smoke in each delicious bite.
