Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate
- 100 grams Almonds (raw, unsalted)
- 6 slices Cooked bacon (crispy)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure the edges hang over the sides for easy removal later.
Roughly chop the almonds and set aside. Crumble the cooked bacon slices into small pieces and set aside.
In a heat-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. You can also use a double boiler if preferred.
Once melted, stir in the maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
Gently fold the chopped almonds and crumbled bacon into the chocolate mixture, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top for an extra pop of flavor, if desired.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Once firm, lift the chocolate slab out of the dish using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into bars or squares.
