Ingredients
- 12 strips bacon

- Dip each bacon strip into the melted chocolate and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place chocolate-covered bacon on a clean sheet of parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each bacon strip before the chocolate sets.
- Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature for about 15 minutes or place in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
