It's my friend's birthday, so I figured, what the crap, I finally have an excuse to induce a heart attack.
Step 1: Fry your bacon. Make it crispy, but not burned.
Step 2: Cool your bacon on a rack, flip it so the grease drips off.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. I used semi-sweet, but you could go with milk chocolate, if it suits your fancy. Add a touch of butter or margarine if you want the coating to be a little softer, or no butter/margarine if you want a harder, shell-like coating.
Step 4: Dip your bacon in your chocolate and put it on a tray. Wax paper will make your life easier here, or you will be scooping it off with a spatula (as I did).
Step 5: Eat as much as humanly possible while you feel your heart temporarly slowing down.
Cheers,
T.O.Bass

Maybe i could take one day off and eat as much chocolate covered bacon as i can manage.

I was going dust it with ground almonds afterward but it seemed like way too much work and my girlfriend and I were already half in the bag due to gin at that point in the evening.

| | Cultivatin' the Vast Wasteland | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Nashville Area | | | I saw Michael Symon do this on the Food Network. He took it a step further and sprinkled it with crushed hazelnuts. Don't know if that was necessary, but it intrigued me. Guess I'll have to try it now.
EDIT: Yeah, maybe it was almonds. I don't remember exactly.
