Ccb Chocolate Covered Bacon Recipes

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.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED BACON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare bacon according to package directions, either on stovetop or in oven. Cook bacon until it is crispy.
• Once bacon is cooked, drain fat and let cool, then pat both sides of bacon with a paper towel to remove any lingering fat.
• Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in microwave. If you are using chocolate candy coating, simply melting it is fine. If you are using real chocolate, temper it so that it remains shiny and hard at room temperature.
• Holding a strip of bacon at the top, carefully dip most of it into melted chocolate. If you have trouble dipping bacon, use a spoon to pour melted chocolate over bacon until both sides are covered to your liking.
• Lay chocolate-dipped bacon on a tray or plate covered with waxed paper. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle top with flaked sea salt, chopped toasted nuts, or any other toppings you'd like. Repeat until all of the bacon is covered with chocolate.
• Refrigerate tray to set chocolate for about 15 minutes. Once set, let bacon come to room temperature, and it's ready to eat!
