Combining two of my favorite foods... this sounds unappealing, but it's really delicious!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 strips thick-sliced bacon
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon on the prepared baking sheet, without overlapping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • While bacon is cooling, place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Line another baking sheet with clean parchment paper. Using tongs, dip 1 slice of bacon into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Place chocolate-covered bacon on the clean parchment; repeat with remaining bacon. Refrigerate until chocolate is hard.
