Pig Candy


After seeing this on Serious Eats New York, I decided to make my own "Pig Candy." That's right, chocolate covered bacon. (Not for the heath food enthusiast.) So I used our favorite bacon, Hormel Fully Cooked from Costco. I like to cook it a little extra to crisp it up.
I melted a small bowl of chocolate chips in the microwave and dipped away.
Yes, a bit salty and sweet which can be a delicious combination. Imagine crispy, salty, bacon and add chocolate!!! No surprises here. My children tried some and called it "yummy." It was definitely edible, but, for me, consuming this confection is not worth the calories or artery buildup. This just proves that anything can be good coated in chocolate.
