Ingredients

  • 12 strips of bacon
  • 1 lb chocolate candy coating
  • sea salt optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Thread bacon strips onto skewers and place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, turning bacon strips halfway through.
  3. drain and pat excess oil away with paper towels. Meanwhile, melt chocolate coating in a bowl over a double boiler.
  4. Using a pastry brush, coat bacon strips evenly with chocolate on both sides. Place strips on a clean baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Let cool.
  5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

1. I didn't have a pastry brush, I drizzled the chocolate on with a spoon and it worked fine.
2. After putting chocolate on one side of the bacon, I popped it in the freezer for about 5 minutes before turning the bacon over to do the other side.
