Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
1 (12 fl oz) can caffeinated pepper-type soda (such as Dr Pepper®)
1 cup butter
12 strips bacon, chopped
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips
½ cup butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12x18-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine 1 cup pepper-type soda and 1 cup butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; heat until butter is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Mix flour, white sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk buttermilk, vanilla extract, and baking soda together in a small bowl. Pour flour mixture; mix until batter is blended. Add butter mixture, 1/3 of the bacon, and chocolate chips; mix thoroughly. Spread in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Combine 6 tablespoons pepper-type soda, 1/2 cup butter, and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 of the remaining bacon and confectioners' sugar; whisk until frosting is smooth.
  • Spread frosting over brownies. Garnish with remaining bacon. Cool until frosting sets, about 20 minutes. Cut into squares.
