Ingredients
- 6 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Dip the Bacon: Once the bacon has cooled, dip each strip halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the chocolate-covered bacon back on the wire rack.
- Add Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- Chill: Place the bacon in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Serve: Enjoy your keto chocolate-covered bacon as a snack or an appetizer!
