Bacon chocolate at home?
Last year, the team and I had chocolate-dipped bacon from a local restaurant at the Taste of Reston. It was quite disappointing. It occurs to me today that is probably because they didn’t get enough of the grease out of the bacon and used that nasty dipping chocolate.
Here’s what I am thinking – cook bacon on a ribbed skillet or in the microwave with cloth/paper to soak up the grease. Ensure the bacon is cooked down good and crispy, and put it on clean cloth to soak up the surface grease. While that’s cooling, temper some chocolate; crumble bacon into chocolate. Separate out to cool, then crumble maple syrup crystals on to the chunks.
