How to cook deliciously - Chocolate-Covered Bacon

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400°F. While the oven is warming, thread the bacon strips by weaving back and forth onto twelve 12 inch soaked wooden skewers. Place them on a rack in a large baking pan. Bake until bacon is crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and allow it to cool completely.

2. Stage

Melt the candy coating in a microwave or on the stovetop, stirring until completely smooth. Brush the coating onto both sides of six bacon strips and sprinkle with your desired toppings. Place these on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.

3. Stage

Next, prepare your chocolate-covered bacon. Start by stirring the chocolate chips in a microwave or on a stovetop until melted and smooth. Brush onto both sides of the remaining bacon, and decorate with desired toppings. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet with the first batch.

4. Stage

Place the wax paper-lined baking sheet into the fridge and allow the chocolate and toppings to set. Store it in the fridge until ready to eat. Editor's Tip: Be sure to thoroughly chop the nuts, if you're using any. Finely chopped nuts will sprinkle well, and also set on the chocolate better.
