If you think this bacon looks a little strange, like it's covered in chocolate you're RIGHT! Uh huh! Chocolate Covered BACON! This crazy concoction might sound a little crazy, and might look a little suspicious, but it's downright delicious. Salty, sweet, and savory (with a crunch)!
To make your own Chocolate Covered Bacon:
To get the bacon to the perfect crisp, strips of thick bacon were placed on a rack (on a cookie sheet covered in foil) and placed in the oven at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. As soon as the bacon is pulled out of the oven the excess oil (on both sides) should be absorbed with a paper towel. Once the bacon is cooled begin to heat the chocolate. If you usually melt chocolate over a double boiler, try using the microwave using a technique seen Real Simple magazine - it takes just a minute, really a minute. Using a spatula, coat the bacon with a generous amount of chocolate, remove the excess, then place on a rack and then into the fridge (for 30 min.) to allow the chocolate to harden. YUM!
