As fans of country singer Trisha Yearwood know, she’s not only a massive musical talent — she’s also a celebrated celebrity cook. And her salty-sweet brownie recipe sounds ingeniously delicious!
A true connoisseur of comfort food and unexpected food combos, Yearwood’s potato chip bacon brownie recipe is both surprising and intriguing. Your mouth might already be watering at the idea of those ingredients combined in one sweet treat.
“I haven’t met a soul who doesn’t love the combination of the saltiness of bacon and potato chips with the sweet decadence of chocolate,” Yearwood, who’s set to perform in the 2025 Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks special, wrote in her 2021 cookbook Trisha’s Kitchen: Easy Comfort Food for Friends and Family. “These brownies are one of my most requested desserts to take to a party or covered dish supper.”

Trisha Yearwood’s potato chip bacon brownie recipe is salty-sweet perfection
Yep, this brownie recipe from the “She’s in Love With the Boy” singer sets itself apart with the inclusion of bacon and potato chips, both in the batter and crumbled on top.
The dessert is a bacon-lover’s dream, because after you cook it you’ll reserve the fat in the skillet, adding butter and sugar to heat it all together. The sweet, bacon-y mixture is combined with more conventional brownie ingredients including cocoa powder, salt, and eggs, followed by the actual bacon, chocolate chips, and crushed potato chips.
