Ingredients
8
slices
bacon
(thick sliced)
1
cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1
TBSP
coconut oil
(or bacon drippings)
1
TBSP
cocoa butter
(melted, optional)
2
TBSP
pistachios
(chopped, optional)
Instructions
Cook the bacon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until melted.
If the chocolate seems to be too thick for easy dipping, stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or bacon drippings to thin it out.
Hold onto one end of a strip of bacon and coat in chocolate, using a spoon to scoop the chocolate over the bacon if necessary.
Gently shake the bacon to allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the chocolate covered bacon on a wax paper lined baking sheet and repeat until all the bacon strips are dipped.
Drizzle with melted cocoa butter or sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired.
Put in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens and enjoy.
Notes
If there are any leftovers store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
