How do you make Chocolate Covered Bacon?
It’s easy!
Place the bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in oven to desired doneness; bacon should not be too soft nor so crisp that it breaks easily.
Cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes and then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt chocolate in a double broiler or on low in the microwave.
Using tongs, carefully dip a bacon strip halfway into the melted chocolate, turning to coat all sides, and set on parchment.
Repeat with each remaining slice of bacon.
Refrigerate until chocolate is hard.
Serve chocolate bacon at a party!

Where Women Cook: Celebrate
Also, one year ago, I knew that my NYE dinner party would be a part of this beautiful new book, Where Women Cook: Celebrate! It was a blast to put it all together (in the month of October). And I’m grateful for my friends who participated.
My hope and dream was that by sharing my annual dinner party, others would be inspired as well.
Laughter, sharing stories, acceptance, and the connection to existing and new friendships form the basis of hospitality. Feelings of inadequacy, unrealistic expectations, fear of failure, and the lack of time all conspire to steal the joy that comes from opening one’s home to others.
“Fear is often a jail cell locking us in so that we don’t form friendships.” Friends bring zest to life. Without friendships, we become lonely, isolated, and smaller than we want and need to be.” – Where Women Cook: Celebrate!
Chocolate-Dipped Bacon Recipe
One of the recipes I shared for dessert at this dinner party was Chocolate-dipped Bacon.
Yes. Chocolate. Dipped. Bacon.
If you’re having a party this year, try this on your guests. They will love you.
Ending the year of 2011, and looking back on many hospitable moments with great friends, brings beautiful feelings of joy and nostalgia.
As I’ve said throughout the year, entertaining is all about the people.
A treat your guests will love. A Chocolate Covered Bacon recipe for a special occasion (Valentine's Day gift), game day, appetizer or dessert. Bacon dipped in chocolate!
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Brush onto both sides of remaining bacon; decorate as desired. Refrigerate until set. Store in refrigerator.
Imagine the crispy, salty and smoky flavour of bacon and the creaminess of chocolate. Imagine the rough texture of bacon with the smoothness of chocolate. It is a flavour and texture combination that works very well. A small amount of salt always brings out the richness of chocolate.
The sweetness of chocolate and the saltiness of the bacon is the perfect marriage. What could be better? Additional toppings like candy sprinkles, chopped pecans, or dried apple chips, of course!
The earliest mentions of this sweet and savory snack date back to 2005, but it is still unknown who had created it. Some suggest a state fair in Minnesota, while others claim that it is was invented in Marini's Candy in Santa Cruz, California.
The general rule of food safety is to not let raw meat or cooked food sit out for more than 2 hours, and that rule applies to uncooked or cooked bacon.
Genesee starts with extra thick-cut slices of applewood smoked bacon, which are enrobed in dark chocolate. Each strip is then drizzled with white chocolate. The product shelf life is five months.
Milk chocolate pairs well with caramel, honey, coconut, lavender, curry powder and asiago. Other foods that pair well with white chocolate include sea salt caramel, agave nectar, maple syrup, lemongrass and wasabi.
Bacon has lots of sodium, cholesterol, and fat, all of which can increase your risk of heart disease. But bacon does have other nutrients, like protein, vitamins, and minerals. Just keep in mind that if you eat bacon, it's best to do so occasionally and in small amounts.

"People like bacon because, first of all, it's fun. It is umami. It's that salty, fatty, satisfying, comforting happy place. You can do so many fun things with it.
bacon, a side of a pig that, after removal of the spare ribs, is cured, either dry or in pickle, and smoked. Some varieties, notably Canadian bacon, are cut from the loin portion of the pork, which is more lean. Bacon was for centuries the staple meat of the western European peasantry.
An unopened package of bacon will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator. Other types of bacon, such as turkey bacon or pancetta, should last just as long in the same conditions. Once you open that package, bacon's shelf life shortens whether you cook it or not.
Take the bacon home immediately and refrigerate it at 40 °F or below. For shelf-stable, cooked bacon, store the product at 85 °F or below. Refrigerate after opening. Observe the manufacturer's recommended "use-by" date.
Some people even suggest that cured bacon can sit out for a few days without contamination. However, I would not recommend leaving bacon out at room temperature. Remember, after 2 hours, the bacon will become riddled with bacteria, so its best to toss bacon that has been left out at room temperature overnight.
No matter the case, you want to store your bacon so you can enjoy it within the next few days. Even if bacon is cured or naturally-cured, it can still be prone to spoilage if left too long at room temperature. To help keep it fresh for the next few days, rely on the refrigerator.
