How do you make Chocolate Covered Bacon?
It’s easy!
Place the bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in oven to desired doneness; bacon should not be too soft nor so crisp that it breaks easily.
Cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes and then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt chocolate in a double broiler or on low in the microwave.
Using tongs, carefully dip a bacon strip halfway into the melted chocolate, turning to coat all sides, and set on parchment.
Repeat with each remaining slice of bacon.
Refrigerate until chocolate is hard.
Serve chocolate bacon at a party!

Where Women Cook: Celebrate
Also, one year ago, I knew that my NYE dinner party would be a part of this beautiful new book, Where Women Cook: Celebrate! It was a blast to put it all together (in the month of October). And I’m grateful for my friends who participated.
My hope and dream was that by sharing my annual dinner party, others would be inspired as well.
Laughter, sharing stories, acceptance, and the connection to existing and new friendships form the basis of hospitality. Feelings of inadequacy, unrealistic expectations, fear of failure, and the lack of time all conspire to steal the joy that comes from opening one’s home to others.
“Fear is often a jail cell locking us in so that we don’t form friendships.” Friends bring zest to life. Without friendships, we become lonely, isolated, and smaller than we want and need to be.” – Where Women Cook: Celebrate!
Chocolate-Dipped Bacon Recipe
One of the recipes I shared for dessert at this dinner party was Chocolate-dipped Bacon.

Either a special dark chocolate, or milk chocolate is used to coat the bacon. The result is a sweet and salty indulgent treat, guaranteed to wow the taste buds.
Imagine the crispy, salty and smoky flavour of bacon and the creaminess of chocolate. Imagine the rough texture of bacon with the smoothness of chocolate. It is a flavour and texture combination that works very well. A small amount of salt always brings out the richness of chocolate.
Chocolate-covered bacon is sold as a specialty food across the United States. It appeared at the Minnesota State Fair under the name "Pig Lickers"; it is sold at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk in California and under the name "Pig Candy" by a chocolate maker in New York City.
Genesee starts with extra thick-cut slices of applewood smoked bacon, which are enrobed in dark chocolate. Each strip is then drizzled with white chocolate. The product shelf life is five months.
The general rule of food safety is to not let raw meat or cooked food sit out for more than 2 hours, and that rule applies to uncooked or cooked bacon. It's wise to be careful with uncooked pork products since they can harbor and grow bacterial pathogens like salmonella and trichinosis.
How you cook bacon influences how healthy it is in the long run. The healthiest way to cook bacon is to cook it until crispy (but not burned), which allows the most fat to melt off. Then, drain it on a paper towel or brown paper bag to remove even more fat before eating.
While some folks are fans of thick-cut, hearty bacon, others are looking for rashers that cook up thin and crispy. If the latter sounds more like your preferred bacon style, try Wright Applewood Thick Cut Bacon.
Food doesn't have to be 'good' or 'bad'. Often, people think you can't have an egg and bacon fry-up for breakfast – that it is a 'special occasion' or 'cheat' meal. But everything can form part of a healthy diet, we just need to tweak our recipes.
Milk chocolate pairs well with caramel, honey, coconut, lavender, curry powder and asiago. Other foods that pair well with white chocolate include sea salt caramel, agave nectar, maple syrup, lemongrass and wasabi.

When light hits a slice of meat, it splits into colors like a rainbow. Wrapping the meat in airtight packages and storing it away from light will help prevent this appearance. Additionally, there are various pigments in meat compounds that can give it an iridescent or greenish cast when exposed to heat and processing.
“Bacon” comes from the same proto-Germanic linguistic roots as the English word “back.” The word “bacoun” started being used in the English language at some point during the twelfth century. At that time, “bacoun” meant all types of pork.
Yet, the alluring crunch and flavor of candied bacon are ephemeral without proper care. The secret to prolonging the life of these golden, sugary strips lies in proper storage. The best practice for storing candied bacon is to keep it in the refrigerator.
Unopened bacon may last roughly two weeks in the fridge and eight months in the freezer. Once the package has been opened, as long as it is well stored in a sealed container, uncooked bacon is good for a week. Sealed in an airtight plastic bag in the freezer, the bacon could last for about a month.
Under USDA guidelines, both raw bacon and cooked bacon products should be refrigerated at 40 or below for the best results. This is recommended because the temperature is low enough to minimize the risk of bacteria growth without causing freezer burn.
