Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 box (12 bar) Nature Valley™ crunchy granola bars
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 blocks (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) extra creamy whipped topping
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon

Instruction

  • Brown Sugar Bourbon Bacon: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper. Lay strips of bacon on lined baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to brush bourbon over slices of bacon, then sprinkle brown sugar evenly over each slice. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until bacon is evenly cooked and crispy. Remove from pan, set on a paper towel, and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Finely chop bacon once cooled.
  • Crust: Crush granola bars into very small pieces. Combine crushed granola bars with butter and sugar.
  • Pour half of the crumbs into the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan that has either been lined with non-stick tin foil or buttered well. Reserve remaining crumbs to top the filling.
  • Filling and Assembly: Beat together cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping and bourbon. Stir in 2/3 of the chopped bacon. Spread over the crust.
  • Sprinkle reserved crumbs and remaining bacon over top.
  • Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Cut into 9 squares and serve.
