Ingredients

▢ 16 ounces thick sliced bacon
▢ 11½ ounces chocolate chips, (milk or semi sweet)
▢ 2 Tablespoons shortening

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. The crispier, the better.
Once the bacon is cooked, blot it with some paper towels to absorb the grease and remove from pan to cool.
Place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals stirring often until smooth and completely melted.
Using a pastry brush or the backside of a teaspoon coat one side of the bacon completely. When that side is dry, turn it over and coat the other side. (optional: can add holiday sprinkles)
Eat them or package them up for gift giving.

12 Days of Christmas book. Just received it today. Definitely a welcome surprise. Can't wait to read it from cover to cover! I have a cookbook collection and this one looks like it will be one my go to recipe books. Thank you so much. Also, I enjoy your website and pins.

Bonnie says:

Just made the chocolate-bacon. It's a good combination and next time I'll cook the bacon until it is even crispier. Can hardly wait for grandson to try this - he's a choco-holic at 5, and I'm sure he'll be surprised by the bacon!

pat says:

Does the chocolate covered bacon need to be refrigerated?

Cyd says:

You can refrigerate it, or keep covered in a cool dry place if not eaten in the first day or two.

Jenne Burda says:

What is the shelf life? Can it be stored in mason jars?

Bobbi @ Six Sisters says:

Bacon is not food safe if stored a room temperature after a few hours so I would I refrigerate it, or keep covered in a cool dry place in a mason jar if not eaten in the first day or two.
