Time 13m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 2

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
7 large strips bacon, fried until crispy

Steps:

  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and set aside for now.
  • Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 1-minute increments until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating.
  • While the chocolate is melting, chop the bacon strips into small bits. Set aside approximately one-third of the bacon to be used to top the bark.
  • Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, stir in the remaining two-thirds of the chopped bacon, and stir until the bacon bits are well-incorporated.
  • Pour the chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet , and with an offset spatula or a knife, spread it into a thin layer about 1/4-inch high. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the top evenly with the reserved chopped bacon and press down gently to adhere it to the surface.
  • Refrigerate the bacon bark to set the chocolate, about 30 minutes. Once set, break it into small uneven pieces by hand, and serve immediately. Chocolate bacon bark can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Provided by devogirl

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 slices thick-cut bacon
1 tablespoon caramel sauce
2 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Place bacon on a rack in a shallow pan. Brush bacon with caramel sauce. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until crisp. Once cool, cut into 1-inch pieces. Meanwhile, line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bittersweet chocolate squares about 1-inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake chocolate for 4 to 5 minutes or until softened. Using a spoon, spread the chocolate to a thin, even layer. Place the bacon pieces on top. Chill for at least 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Wrap in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the bark will taste. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overcook the bacon. Bacon that is too crispy will be tough and chewy in the bark.
  • Let the bark cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent it from breaking.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • Get creative with your toppings. You can use any type of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or candy that you like.

Conclusion:

Chocolate bacon bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover bacon, and it's also a fun project to do with kids. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give chocolate bacon bark a try!
