675. CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON

1 bag (12oz) of Semi-Sweet Chocolate morsels
1 1 lb. of uncooked bacon
Sprinkles (optional)

Cookware
Large skillet
Double boiler | medium sauce pan and smaller sauce pan (simulate double boiler)
Cooking tongs
Cooling rack | cookie sheet
Large plate and some paper towel (2 or 3 sheets)
Big Spoon

Remove Bacon from package. Heat large skillet on high. Add bacon strips to skillet. Turn bacon strips over as needed with tongs. Cook back until it’s reduced to about ¼ of its original size and appears to be crispy. Remove bacon from skillet and place it on a paper towel lined plate. While the bacon is cooling fill the double boiler or medium sauce pan with water and bring to a medium heat. Place double boiler top pan in double boiler bottom pan or put the small sauce pan in the medium sauce pan. Slowly add chocolate morsels into top pan and stir while morsels melt. Do this until all morels have been added. (Be sure to keep stirring to prevent the chocolate from burning.) Using your fingers or tongs carefully dip the bacon strips into the chocolate, if necessary use a spoon to spoon the melted chocolate over the bacon evenly coating it. Once coated lay strips on cooling rack or cookie sheet. (Optionally) Apply Sprinkles evenly on chocolate covered bacon while on cooling rack. It’s important to apply while the chocolate is still warm. This will allow the sprinkles to better adhere to the chocolate. Place cooling rack with bacon into the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Carefully remove bacon strips from the cooling rack and place into a container or place the strips directly into your mouth. Bring container with strips to work, school, or religious event.

Are you kidding me?! Have you really tried this? It sounds like one of those recipes that is so wierd it would have to be good. And frankly, something with chocolate and bacon together would border on a religious event!

dear deborah,


yes, it is divine. in my opinion, the combination of bacon and chocolate transcends what any religious experience might be able to offer. i believe the same for all food --- because it is something we can physically ingest, and opposed to theoretically. do try it, and let me know how it is for you.
