So, my friend Megan came to visit me from LA this past week, and naturally we had to make something special. She picked out this recipe from the Taste of Home Bacon Recipe Cards, an all bacon cookbook my future mother-in-law gave us for Christmas (which, how awesome is that?!). I highly recommend doing what we did and taking these to the pool with a giant batch of piña coladas. I guarantee that everyone at the pool will be giving you the evil eye. Because you have chocolate-covered bacon. And they do not.
Chocolate-Covered Bacon
Makes 1 dozen
12 thick-sliced bacon strips
12 wooden skewers, 12 inches long
6 oz white chocolate, chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 Tbs shortening
Other optional toppings
- Thread each bacon strip onto a wooden skewer, and place on a rack in a large baking pan.
- Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until desired crispiness.
- Cool bacon completely.
- In a microwave, or a double boiler, melt white chocolate until smooth.
- Combine chocolate chips and shortening, and melt in the microwave or a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- With pastry brushes, coat the bacon on both sides with the melted chocolate.
- Top each strip as desired and place on wax-paper lined baking sheets.
- Refrigerate until firm.
