Chocolate Covered Bacon Recipes

GINA'S CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON

Steps:

• Melt both the semisweet chocolate and white chocolate in separate double boilers. Whisk until completely smooth. Remove them from the heat.
• Dunk the bacon into the semisweet chocolate and make sure it is completely coated. Let excess drip off and lay on a parchment or waxed paper lined quarter sheet tray. Repeat with all the bacon slices. Drizzle the white chocolate over the chocolate covered bacon. Put the sheet tray in the refrigerator to set, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the sheet tray to a serving dish and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Thread the bacon slices onto 12-inch wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Bake until cooked but not too crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
• While the bacon is cooling, set a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water so that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Add the white chocolate to the bowl and heat until melted.
• Line another baking sheet with parchment. Dip the bacon strips in the white chocolate so they are mostly covered. Place on the parchment. Sprinkle the bacon with the chopped pistachios and use a rasp grater to grate the milk chocolate on top. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon on the prepared baking sheet, without overlapping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a plate lined with paper towels.
• While bacon is cooling, place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
• Line another baking sheet with clean parchment paper. Using tongs, dip 1 slice of bacon into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Place chocolate-covered bacon on the clean parchment; repeat with remaining bacon. Refrigerate until chocolate is hard.

CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON

Steps:

• Heat large skillet on high; add bacon strips.
• 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. (Personally I believe that the bacon should be crispy; however if you prefer your chocolate covered bacon chewy opposed to crunchy then reduce cooking time by removing your bacon earlier).
• Drain bacon on papertowels to remove grease.
• 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 (with something underneath to catch the drips) or waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Cool in refrigerator for 15 minutes to set chocolate.
