Indulgent Recipe Alert: Chocolate Bacon Twists!

Today’s Special: Chocolate-covered Bacon Twists

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and indulgent recipe that combines two unlikely ingredients for a sweet and savory treat — Chocolate-covered Bacon Twists. This dish is perfect for those lazy weekend afternoons when you’re craving something a little out of the ordinary.

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bacon
• 200g of dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp of maple syrup
• A pinch of sea salt

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• parchment paper
• microwave-safe bowl
• fork

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take each slice of bacon and twist it into a spiral shape, then place it on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crispy.

In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Once melted, stir in the maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt for a sweet and salty flavor.

Remove the crispy bacon from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dip each bacon twist into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat it evenly. Place the chocolate-covered bacon back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes at room temperature or pop the baking sheet into the fridge for a quicker set. Once the chocolate is firm, these Chocolate-covered Bacon Twists are ready to be enjoyed!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 280g, with 8 servings at around 35g each. Each serving contains approximately 150 calories.

One fun tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top of the chocolate-covered bacon twists before the chocolate sets. This adds a crunchy texture and extra flavor to this already unique treat.

I hope you give these Chocolate-covered Bacon Twists a try and enjoy the surprising combination of flavors. Feel free to get creative with different toppings or seasonings to make this dish your own! Happy cooking!
