Chocolate-Covered Bacon: Worlds Collide
In keeping with many of my recent recipes, these are so ridiculously simple it’s almost embarrassing. Well, almost. And if you want to take the credit, knock yourself out. You’ll never look at the two ingredients the same way again, and then you’ll start combining them with everything! Lucky you!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Cut bacon pieces in half, creating slices approximately 6 inches long.
  3. Thread each slice of bacon onto a wooden skewer. This will keep the bacon from curling up during cooking. Place skewers on baking sheet, minding to space them out so that they don’t stick to one another.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven. Start checking the bacon at about 10 minutes to make sure they don’t burn (not that I would have any experience with that…).
  5. Remove bacon from oven and either place on drying rack, or onto paper towels to remove excess bacon fat. Allow to cool completely.
  6. Heat chocolate per instructions on the container. Using a spoon, drizzle chocolate onto each bacon skewer. Top with cookie sprinkles for color. (see note below for additional topping and flavor combinations)
  7. Allow chocolate sauce to harden. Either serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Serve to that special someone, taking all the credit and love that comes with it.
Recipe Notes

As mentioned in the instructions above, the possibilities for how to change up the flavors here are endless.  Add some cayenne to the chocolate sauce for a lovely heat in each nibble.  Sprinkle the bacon with brown sugar before you cook it to amp up the sweetness quotient.  Top the chocolate with crushed pecans or walnuts.  Play with it a bit, and you’re sure to come up so many new favorites you’ll be making these all year long!
