Chocolate Bacon Bites

April 30, 2011 By 30 Comments

Shockingly delicious Bacon brownies that are totally Paleo and who would have thought.  So this dessert totally plays into my recent Pork kick.  I was going to just dip some bacon in chocolate but decided to do one better.  Here you end up with Chocolate Bacon Brownies which can easily be converted to a cake.  The process for this for me was a little long because instead of traditionally cooking the bacon, I baked it in 100% Pure Maple Syrup to try and really give it that sweetness to pair well with the saltiness of the Bacon.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I did, especially since I ate about 8 of them.

Servings: 24 Cupcakes
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Tools you may Need:

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups of almond butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 /2 Cup Raw Organic Honey
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 Cup Cacao Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Sea salt
  • 1 Tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 Cup Coconut Milk
  • 8 Slices crispy cooked bacon, chopped in food processor
Process:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 Degrees F
  2. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer blend your almond butter to make it a smoother consistency
  3. Next blend in your two eggs
  4. Now blend in the honey and the vanilla
  5. Add the salt, baking soda, and then SLOWLY add in the Cacao powder or else you will take a chocolate powder bath like I did the first time
  6. Add the Coconut milk and continue to mix well
  7. Now fold in the bacon and mix well by hand to ensure an even distribution of it all
  8. Divide your batter between your 24 Cupcake Cups and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.  
  9. Enjoy
For the Bacon my way:
  1. Place 8 slices of bacon on a aluminum foil lined baking sheet
  2. Taking about 2 Tbsp 100% Raw Maple syrup and a basting brush, brush the tops of all the bacon generously with maple syrup
  3. PLACE IN A COLD OVEN, and then turn the oven on 400 Degrees F
  4. Come back in 20 minutes and you should have perfectly cooked bacon in maple syrup
  5. Pull out of the oven, and place on paper towels to absorb the fat
  6. Place the bacon in your food processor and finely chop to go in your chocolate bits

    Oh, wait, too late. LOL. If bacon and chocolate had love children, this recipe would be one of them.

    These were incredible. I suggest making mini muffins so you won't feel so guilty about eating 10 of them :)

    @Tacosontherooftop they are absolutely amazing, I brought them to work today to a bunch of Marines that live of fast food and they loved them, no one could figure out that secret ingredient of bacon it was awesome

  • Julia

    I have a question. What does the little logo with the 5 cavemen towards the top of some of your recipes mean? Are they like stars? For example, this one would be a 3 star recipe. And are the stars telling me how paleo friendly the recipe is or how amazing the recipe actually tastes? This recipe was pretty delicious! Thanks.

  • George

    They are all paleo friendly my caveman is for difficulty

  • Chanida

    made this at a paleo bbq and they were a hit :)

  • Liz

  • Vicki

    seriously think I need to try these… but, I'm allergic to coconut milk, do you think half & half or heavy cream would work instead?

  • George

    Yes it would Vicki

  • Vicki

    fantastic and thanks for your incredibly fast response :)

  • Liz

    These were the BOMB! Kid approved, non-Paleo husband approved, and even unsuspecting guest approved. :D These are definitely my go-to fix!

  • George

    Awesome Liz, I am so glad you enjoyed them. Keep up the awesome cooking :)

  • Art

    I made these tonight, sans bacon. Also reduced the agave to 3/4 cup. Sweet enough for me! Very good. My wife even loved them, and she's quite picky. :)

    Next up is a walnut brownie recipe, since I bought 25 pounds of organic walnuts on eBay and need to use them up!

  • George

    Awesome, thats a lot of walnuts

  • Angie

    I made these last night for a food day at work today – they turned out wonderful! Though, I may have chopped up the bacon a little too fine – guess I’ll just have to try again!

    Haven’t tried this yet, but are these supposed to be small? If so, do you think I can just use a mini-cupcake pan?

    • http://civilizedcavemancooking.com Civilized Caveman

      They can be whatever size you want, the small cupcake pan would work great
