Chocolate Covered Bacon

Yeah, I went there!

This is a surprisingly yummy treat. Salty and sweet at the same time with a hint of smoke. A dream snack if ever there was one!


Chocolate Covered Bacon

Ingredients

4-6 pieces thick sliced Bacon (center cut if you can find it)
1 bar (4 oz) Dark, semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Procedure

Fry the bacon till done, about 8 or so minutes, and drain on paper towels.

In a double boiler, add the chocolate and melt.

Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, stir once. If using semi-sweet, then go ahead and add 1 tsp of white or brown sugar to sweeten it a bit if you like. Now dip a slice of bacon into the chocolate up to 3/4 of it’s length. You want to leave a “naked” bit of bacon to be your handle when holding and eating. Now lay on a rack to cool and harden.

Once you have dipped your bacon (and strawberries), add 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk SLOWLY to the melted chocolate. Whisk constantly until you get a fairly liquid consistency. Serve this chocolate sauce at the table with your meal. If you didn’t before, you’ll probably want to add 1/2 tsp of sugar to the mix as you make the sauce to sweeten it a bit….so go ahead!

Serve with your favorite meal. Breakfast is great, especially with chocolate covered strawberries. Champagne and OJ are up to your discretion.

Here is the recipe for the French Bread Rollups.

Fry good quality bacon and drain.



Then your chocolate.









Add cream to left over chocolate to make a dipping sauce.



Serve with French Toast Bread Rollups and chocolate covered strawberries. An egg over easy is nice as well!

Oh dear Lord!!! I've died and gone to heaven. lol

ummmmm bro..... the next time you make something like this you need to consult me first... i need to go to the dr and get some heart meds cuz that dish just made my heart skip a beat

Oh my! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm gonna have to give this a 52!

That is amazing

Now THIS is a chocolate use I can get behind! The chocolate mashed potatoes - not so much. Since chocolate to me is practically medicine, I must have it at times, this is a perfect way to justify medicating myself in the morning. Thanks Keltin. Fabulous dish!

Glad you liked it Sirena! This one was a bit more up my alley!

BTW – Anyone watch Chopped last night?

Appetizer ingredients were Beef Tenderloin, Cucumber, Asian Peaches, and......CHOCOLATE!!!

Nearly everyone one of them said what I said when chocolate came up in the IC7 challenge - “What the hell am I going to do with chocolate”?

I don't know, Keltin. You make this look awfully tempting. But isn't chocolate and bacon together just wrong? (Still, I really like a lot of wrong stuff.) I may have to try this anyway.

I see it more as a glorious union. If we see chocolate as feminine, and bacon as masculine, then this dish serves to show the perfect harmonious union that is possible for all of mankind. Think of it as departure from individualism and the separation of the sexes, and a step closer to the utopian perfection the we all strive to achieve.










OR........it’s a great way to get to eat more bacon!!!!

And it's sexier than all get out. Talk about a seductive dish!

Actually, YES! I would make this again! It's a crazy mixture of salty and sweet, crunchy and smooth......it's really enjoyable.

You don't want to eat more than 3 or so, but it is a wonderful treat, and I'll do it again!

The pork chop with white chocolate potatoes….no……I won’t do that again.

But this, chocolate covered bacon for breakfast? YES!!! Try it!
