Chocolate Covered Bacon Strips

This is the perfect marriage. The sweetness of chocolate and the saltiness of bacon. What could be better?

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a baking rack on top of a large baking sheet.

Step: 2

Thread each slice of bacon onto a skewer; place skewered bacon on the baking rack.

Step: 3

Bake bacon in the preheated oven until crisp; 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.

Step: 4

Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.

Step: 5

Coat each side of the skewered bacon with the chocolate mixture using a pastry brush. Place coated bacon on a sheet of waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
