                    The combination of salty bacon with rich chocolate sounds strange but is surprisingly delicious. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice  |  
                                                2 tablespoons honey  |  
                                                1/2 cup melted butter  |  
                                                1 cup brown sugar  |  
                                                1/4 cup white sugar  |  
                                                1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract  |  
                                                2 eggs, lightly beaten  |  
                                                3/4 cup all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1/2 cup cocoa powder  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/2 cup chocolate chips  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish. 2. Fry bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until nearly crisp, about 5 minutes. Add honey and stir until the foaming subsides. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate to cool. 3. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix in eggs. 4. Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl; add to the egg mixture. Fold bacon and chocolate chips into the mixture; pour into the prepared baking dish. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Allow brownies to cool for 20 minutes before cutting into squares.                              |
