That's right- I said it. Chocolate Covered Bacon in honor of the biggest pigskin match up of the year. It seemed fitting, right? Or I just wanted bacon...and chocolate. Honestly though, how could I go wrong? Crisp, salty bacon slathered in sweet, silky chocolate...a duo made in heaven.
Chocolate covered bacon was shockingly easy to make, which makes it incredibly dangerous as I now know I can have this delightful treat anytime I want. I see the bright red "DANGER" sign flashing....
Ingredients:
5 strips of bacon, cut in half to create 10 smaller pieces
2 1 oz square of semisweet chocolate
Water
Lay the bacon flat on a rimmed baking sheet lined with tinfoil, bake at 400 degrees until crisp. Remove from baking sheet, and set aside to cool.
You'll want to melt the chocolate over indirect heat. To do so, find a glass bowl that will set fit about 1/4 to 1/2 way into a sauce pot. Fill the sauce pot with water until it is just touching the bottom of the glass bowl. Bring the water to a boil, and add the chocolate squares. Monitor the water to make sure it doesn't boil over, or go too crazy. The heat from the gently boiling will melt the chocolate into creamy perfection.
Once the chocolate is completely melted, dip the pieces of bacon into it, using a silicone brush to fill any cavities and to brush off excess chocolate. Place the coated pieces onto a piece of wax paper and allow to cool and harden.
Enjoy!

Oh man. I need some of this.
This is dangerous for me to read with bacon in my fridge! btw, I totally still order cosmos. They might be old new but they are still great drinks!
OH I meant to say that! I totally still order them every so often as well! They are delicious!

Sorry but here I will pass. This is really health killing. Hope you haven't eaten too much of it.
