Yum or Yuck?

Okay, so there is a fad going around that I have yet to try... CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON. I'm not sure who wouldn't like it, since it combines two amazing things into one, but it might not be for some people. I am going to make this soon and found a great recipe.

Chocolate Covered Bacon:


Ingredients

6-8 slices thick cut, best-quality bacon
12 ounces semisweet chips
4 ounces white chocolate, melted, optional for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Place the bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven, until bacon is cooked to your liking. 15 minutes for soft bacon, 20 minutes for crispy bacon.
3. Let bacon cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
4. Meanwhile set up a double boiler. Heat a large saucepan filled with water over high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer.
5. Set a heat-proof bowl over the simmering water. Add the chocolate chips and stir with a fork until smooth and completely melted.
6. Cover another baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Using tongs, carefully dip the bacon into the melted chocolate turning to coat all sides in chocolate. Transfer to the clean sheet of waiting parchment paper. Repeat with remaining slices of bacon.
8. Drizzle with the white chocolate, if desired.
9. Refrigerate until chocolate is hard.
10. Once cool, enjoy!

Makes 6-8 slices of chocolate-covered bacon.
