Chocolate Covered Bacon for Valentines Day #Sunday Supper

Sunday, February 10, 2013
It's almost Valentines Day! For the past few years, we have stayed home and treated ourselves on Cupid's day. I prefer cooking my own meal and enjoying an expensive bottle of wine instead of being out with the masses.

For #SundaySupper, we are sharing our favorite savory and sweet treats. I struggled with this and initially wanted to do something with Red Velvet. This was until I saw the amazing lineup below and more Red Velvet recipes than my brain could handle. So I decided to make something Savory AND Sweet! My favorite thing in this world, Chocolate Covered Bacon.
I jumped on the Chocolate Covered Bacon bandwagon ages ago. My family and friends thought it was beyond gross, until they tried it. I have converted many non-believers of this snack. If you like chocolate and bacon, you will love this dessert and it is super easy to make.

Ingredients
Thick Cut Bacon
Bakers Chocolate Squares - Semi Sweet
White Chocolate - I used Godiva White Chocolate Vanilla Bean
Parchment Paper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375. Place bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook for 20 minutes (check to make sure it doesn't burn). Let cool.
Microwave semi sweet squares, I used 3, 30 seconds each round and stir. It took about 2 1/2 minutes for mine.
Using a pastry brush, paint the bacon with the semi-sweet chocolate.
Place on a paper plate and freeze for 5 minutes.
Microwave white chocolate, I used two squares. Since the Godiva was thinner than the bakers chocolate, this only took one minute. Splash the white chocolate over the dark chocolate.
Freeze for 5 minutes.
So easy and delicious. Chocolate Covered Bacon is the perfect savory & sweet treat. Now, check out what the rest of the #SundaySupper family is making this week! There  are quite a few Valentines Day recipes for you to enjoy.

  1. Amazing, Megan. Your Chocolate Covered Bacon looks just like the wonderful concoction I've seen on Food Network shows =) Bravo!

    I imagine the sweet of the cocoa and the protein of the meat is a perfect pre-marathon treat for super runners like you =) Yes?

  2. My husband keeps trying to convince me that chocolate and bacon work well together. I am not sure but then again looking at your photos does make me think that maybe I need to give it a try.

  17. They started serving chocolate covered bacon at the WI State Fair a couple years ago. I still haven't tried them. I'll admit, I'm a bit hesitant. But, making them at home is pretty safe, and after hearing all the raves, I may have to venture outside of my box. Thanks for the push!
