Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
- 12 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over it.
Thread each slice of bacon onto a wooden skewer in a wavy, ribbon-like pattern. Lay the skewers on the prepared wire rack.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over both sides of the bacon skewers. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
Remove the bacon skewers from the oven and let them cool completely on the wire rack to ensure they firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter by microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable. Set aside to cool slightly.
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and glossy.
Once the bacon skewers have cooled, drizzle each skewer generously with melted peanut butter and chocolate. Use a spoon or piping bags for clean lines.
Sprinkle the crushed peanuts over the chocolate and peanut butter while they are still wet to adhere.
Place the skewers in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the toppings to set.
Serve the Chocolate Peanut Butter Classic Bacon Skewers immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
