Bacon Root Beer Brownies (Redeeming for san mateo county fair for 2015)

hello fans, today I even know we got pizza for my family today I felt like making a dessert for later tonight so I practiced making my Bacon Root Beer Brownies For the San mateo County Fairs 2nd annual Brownie contest. open to amatuers and food bloggers and instructors who don't have culinary degrees. if you do you don't partciapate sorry. that's what the county fair rules stated. but I enjoy competing at the fair its fun, it warms me up for if I do ever compete in major competitions on Television such as Chopped or Guy's Grocery Games. it will get me prepared for it. so the judges told me last year to elimmate toe cocoa powder and use melted chocolate. so I used 1 cup chocolate chips (bittersweet works for this recipe) so this is a test recipe and it worked. so will make sure to enter this coming june and its going to be a fun year! so enjoy this brownie recipe and all the others as well.
