Ingredients

    1.
    Bacon
    Bacon
    4 slice - 6" long
    2.
    Dark Chocolate Chips, 70%-85% Cacao
    Dark Chocolate Chips, 70%-85% Cacao
    1-½ ounce

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay bacon strips flat on the prepared sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the bacon is firm with crisp edges but not completely crispy.
    2.
    Remove the cooked bacon from the oven and let it cool in the refrigerator. Once cool, place the bacon between two layers of paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Allow the bacon to chill completely (about 30 minutes). After cooling, cut each strip of bacon in half.
    3.
    Create a double boiler by placing a heat-resistant bowl over a saucepan filled with about an inch of water. Add the chocolate to the bowl (consider adding extra chocolate to facilitate easier dipping). Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, stirring the chocolate until it is completely melted and smooth.
    4.
    Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the heat and let it cool slightly, stirring occasionally. Once the chocolate has cooled enough to thicken and coat the back of a spoon, dip each piece of bacon halfway into the chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the dipped bacon on a parchment-lined sheet to cool.
    5.
    Place the chocolate-covered bacon in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely. Once the chocolate is firm, the bacon is ready to serve and enjoy!
