Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
- 12 pieces Wooden skewers
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thread each slice of bacon onto a wooden skewer, weaving it back and forth in a ribbon-like pattern.
Place the skewered bacon on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the slices do not overlap, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
While the bacon cooks, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes until firm but still slightly warm.
Dip each piece of bacon into the melted chocolate, coating it halfway or entirely as desired. Place the dipped bacon on a clean parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over each chocolate-dipped bacon strip for a burst of flavor.
Refrigerate the skewered bacon for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets completely.
Serve the Chocolate Skewered Bacon shortly after refrigeration for the best texture and taste. Enjoy this irresistible savory-sweet snack!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
