Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon
  • 1 cups coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon espresso coffee optional
  • 1 cups cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cups honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Place bacon on foil lined cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven at 375 F for 15 - 20 minutes or until done - remove from oven and allow the bacon to cool.
  • While the bacon is cooking, mix the coconut oil, vanilla, espresso and honey (or maple syrup) together. If the coconut oil is solid, melt in the microwave (or oven).
  • Blend the remaining ingredients into coconut oil mixture - sea salt, cocoa powder. I used an immersion blender.
  • Cut each slice of bacon in half and holding one end, dip the bacon into the chocolate.
  • Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Allow the chocolate to dry - I put it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  • You may dip the bacon again if desired.
  • Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Try dipping the chocolate covered bacon in chopped nuts for more texture and crunch!
