12 slices bacon (, about 1 pound, thick sliced)
6 ounces chocolate of choice
4 tablespoons chopped nuts or candy (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place an oven safe cooling rack on top.

CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON

I haven't tried this, but I definitely will. Sounds crazy enough to work! Bacon = yum. Chocolate = yum. It has to work...right?

Provided by Shelby Jo

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate morsels
1 lb of uncooked bacon

Steps:

  • Heat large skillet on high; add bacon strips.
  • Turn bacon strips over as needed with tongs.
  • Cook back until it's reduced to about ¼ of its original size and appears to be crispy. (Personally I believe that the bacon should be crispy; however if you prefer your chocolate covered bacon chewy opposed to crunchy then reduce cooking time by removing your bacon earlier).
  • Drain bacon on papertowels to remove grease.
  • While the bacon is cooling fill the double boiler or medium sauce pan with water and bring to a medium heat.
  • Place double boiler top pan in double boiler bottom pan or put the small sauce pan in the medium sauce pan.
  • Slowly add chocolate morsels into top pan and stir while morsels melt. Do this until all morels have been added. (Be sure to keep stirring to prevent the chocolate from burning.).
  • Using your fingers or tongs carefully dip the bacon strips into the chocolate, if necessary use a spoon to spoon the melted chocolate over the bacon evenly coating it.
  • Once coated lay strips on cooling rack (with something underneath to catch the drips) or waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Cool in refrigerator for 15 minutes to set chocolate.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate works well.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a more substantial bite. Regular bacon can also be used, but it will be more crispy.
  • Cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispness. For chewier bacon, cook for a shorter amount of time. For crispier bacon, cook for longer.
  • Let the bacon cool completely before dipping it in the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
  • Use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. A double boiler is the gentlest method, but a microwave can be used if you are careful not to overheat the chocolate.
  • Dip the bacon in the melted chocolate, using a fork or tongs. Make sure the bacon is evenly coated.
  • Place the chocolate-covered bacon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  • Enjoy the chocolate-covered bacon as a snack or dessert.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-covered bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and savory snack that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a unique appetizer or a decadent dessert, chocolate-covered bacon is sure to hit the spot.
