Bacon Wrapped in Chocolate
Ingredients
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 12 wooden skewers
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Position a large baking sheet on a flat surface and place a sturdy metal rack on top of it.
3
Thread each slice of bacon onto a long, thin stick; place the skewered bacon on top of the rack.
4
Bake the bacon in the preheated oven until it reaches a crispy state; allow for 20 to 25 minutes of cooking time.
5
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool down completely, allowing any excess heat to dissipate.
6
In a microwave-safe container, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Heat the mixture in 30-second increments until it reaches a smooth, melted state; stir after each interval to ensure even heating.
7
Using a long-handled brush, apply the melted chocolate mixture evenly onto both sides of the skewered bacon.
8
Place the coated bacon on a sheet of waxed paper, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
9
Refrigerate the coated bacon until it becomes firm and set; this should take at least 30 minutes.
10
Store the chocolate-coated bacon in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it.
