1 1⁄3 cups dark chocolate chips
1⁄2 cup smoked porter
2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs plus 2 additional yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1⁄4 cups
all-purpose flour
1⁄4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped, 1 ½ T bacon grease
reserved
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or prepare with
cooking spray a 9-by-9-inch baking dish for thick, tall brownies, or a
9-by-13-inch dish for thinner, wider brownies.
In a medium bowl add the butter, bacon grease, and chocolate; cook for 1 minute until just melted. Remove bowl and stir gently. Place back in microwave and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove and stir until smooth. Then stir in the beer until thoroughly combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla until well-combined and fluffy. While whisking continuously, slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture; whisk until completely incorporated. Sprinkle the flour, cocoa powder, salt and smoked paprika over the bowl; stir until just combined.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with chopped cooked bacon.
Bake until brownies are shiny and dry, and the center feels firm, about 50 minutes for a 9-by-9-inch dish or 40 minutes for a 9-by-13-inch dish. Let cool and cut into squares.
Store extras in an airtight container.There will be very few. Promise.
