Ingredients

  • 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
  • 6 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped (choose your favorite for desired sweetness)
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

Prepare the Bacon

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and allow it to cool completely.

Melt the Chocolate

  • While the bacon is cooling, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.

Dip the Bacon

  • Once the bacon is fully cooled, dip each slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Lay the chocolate-covered bacon slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Finish with Sea Salt

  • Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate-dipped portion of each bacon strip.

Set and Serve

  • Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
