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
