Today, I am sharing a recipe that combines some of my favorite flavors in a surprisingly delicious way. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a unique party snack that will impress your guests. Get ready for a spicy, sweet, and savory experience like no other with my Spicy Chocolate-Covered Bacon!

Ingredients:

• thick-cut bacon (250g)
• dark chocolate (200g)
• cayenne pepper (1 tsp)
• sea salt (1/2 tsp)

Kitchen Tools:

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

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay out the thick-cut bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the bacon in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.

While the bacon is baking, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until it is smooth and fully melted. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the cayenne pepper and sea salt until well combined.

Once the bacon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dip each bacon slice into the spicy chocolate mixture, coating it evenly. Place the chocolate-covered bacon back on the parchment paper and let it set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.

The end result is a decadent treat that combines the smoky, salty flavor of bacon with the rich sweetness of dark chocolate and a spicy kick from the cayenne pepper. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more.

One unusual tip to make this dish even better is to sprinkle some crushed pistachios or shredded coconut on top of the chocolate-covered bacon before it sets. This adds an extra layer of flavor and crunch that takes this dish to the next level.
