What You Need for Smoked Brownies

How to Make Smoked Brownies
Step 1: Make the Bacon Salt
Dice your bacon and fry it. Pat dry with a paper towel and let it cool completely. Set aside some bits to garnish later.
Add the rest of the bacon bits and salt to the food processor and pulse until coarse. Store in the fridge.
Step 2: Fire up the Grill
Preheat the smoker to 350°F. You can use the hardwood of your choice. We recommend using maple, pecan, or something sweet.
Step 3: Prepare the Brownie Batter
Prepare the brownies in a medium bowl according to the package. Pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan.
Dribble 2 tablespoons of caramel over the brownies. Sprinkle about one teaspoon of bacon salt over the brownies.
Step 4: Smoke the Brownies
Smoke the brownies for about 20-25 minutes at 350°F and then remove them from the smoker.
Add two more tablespoons of caramel sauce and one teaspoon of bacon salt over the brownies.Return to the smoker and cook for about 20-25 more minutes. They are ready when you insert a toothpick, and it comes out clean.
Step 5: Add Caramel, Chocolate and Bacon Salt
Serve with a swirl of caramel sauce and garnish with bacon bits. Let the brownies cool before slicing them.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Cut the brownies and serve them to your guests. You can serve the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
What Temperature to Smoke Brownies At?
It would be best if you smoked brownies at 350°F for best results.

Smoke brownies for about 45 minutes when cooking at 350°F. The size of the brownie pan may alter the cooking time.
Check the brownies when they’re almost ready in case they finished baking early. When you can insert a toothpick, and it comes out clean, the brownies are ready.
