Ingredients
- 3/4cup chocolate,dark or bittersweet, tempered
- 8strips bacon, Artisanal, smoked, thick cut,cooked until just crispy and cooled
- 1/2cup almonds, smoked,coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Take a piece of cooked and cooled bacon, dipping seven-eighths of it in tempered dark chocolate, lightly shaking it to remove any excess chocolate, then coating each side with chopped smoked almonds. Place onto a drying rack and let sit until the chocolate hardens.
- Store the chocolate dipped bacon in an airtight container in a cool place. As cooked bacon is safe to leave out for a few days, since the moisture content, salt cure and chocolate coating all help preserve it.
