Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz unsweetened chocloate, chopped
12 oz unsalted butter
2 cups white sugar
6 large eggs
1/2 lb bacon, baked or fried crisp
1/2 lb all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring water to boil in a medium saucepan. Place both chocolates and butter in a glass or metal bowl, and place the bowl over the saucepan of boiling water. Mix until butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Chop bacon into small pieces.

  • 2. Remove from pan and cool for 10-15 minutes. MANGIA!!
  • 3. Chocolate 101 o Buy unsweetened chocolate before you buy bittersweet or semi-sweet: while unsweetened can always get sweeter, you can never take the sugar out of the others. o Cocoa powder quickly becomes chocolate with the quick addition of butter and sugar. o Never substitute milk chocolate for melting recipes calling for something else: the milk solids will affect the recipe. o When melting chocolate, always chop it up first so that it melts evenly. Also, when melting chocolate over direct heat, be sure to use a LOW temperature. Sweet and Salty: So Happy Together! A hint of salt makes sweet treats taste better: salt awakens our taste buds, making them that much more receptive to sweetness. The proper balance makes two favorites, bacon and chocolate, taste even better than they would on their own. How to make a perfectly textured muffin: temper the chocolate slowly so it's incorporated into the butter evenly. Whisk the sugar into the eggs aggressively, to make sure it's incorporated evenly. That way when you combine the two, you'll have a perfect texture FABIO VIVANI'S recipe

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less chocolate chips.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, but I loved these muffins. The chocolate chips really balance out the bacon flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

These muffins were a disaster! They were dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, but they still turned out terrible. I don't recommend this recipe.

Meh. These muffins were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably won't make them again.
