CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON

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.
• Line bacon on the cooling rack and bake for 12 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon. Flip once about halfway through and cook until deep golden brown and crisp.
• While bacon is cooling, break up chocolate into a bowl and microwave on 10 second intervals until the chocolate is beginning to melt. Stir to melt the chocolate completely.
• Dab off any leftover grease from the bacon with a paper towel then dip one end into the chocolate. Use a spoon to coat the bacon slice a little more than halfway up on both sides.
• Place coated bacon on wax paper or parchment paper. Continue until all the bacon is coated.
• Sprinkle each slice with about 1 teaspoon of chopped toppings if using and transfer the wax paper to the fridge, keeping it flat to let the chocolate set. About 1 hour.
• Enjoy and keep bacon stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

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.
