Are you ready for a decadent treat? Chocolate covered bacon is an indulgent snack that is sure to please any sweet tooth and bacon lover. The two layers of flavors will surprise the taste buds and make for a unique and tasty treat. This recipe is surprisingly easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. Read on to learn how to make this delicious chocolatey treat!

Ingredients

1/2 pound of bacon
1/2 pound of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup of chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

The first step is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven is preheated, spread the bacon onto a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Once the bacon is cooked, let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate chips in a bowl by placing the bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. Stir the chocolate chips until they’re completely melted and smooth.

Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, dip each piece of bacon in the melted chocolate and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.

Once the chocolate has set, it’s time to enjoy your chocolate covered bacon! Serve the bacon warm or cold, with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beer. Enjoy!
