Chocolate Covered Bacon Recipe

Ingredients:

• Fletcher's Thick Sliced Naturally Smoked Pepper Crust Bacon
• Ghirardelli Gourmet, 72% cacao, extra bittersweet baking chocolate

First you take the bacon and broil it in the oven for a nice, even crispness.

Then, carefully melt Ghirardelli gourmet, 72% cacao, extra bittersweet baking chocolate in a double-boiler.

Next dip the pepper-crusted savory goodness into the rich melted sweetness, leaving just a "handle" of uncoated bacon.

Let them cool on wax paper.

Serve at room temp.
