Saturday or “Caturday” as we call it in our house is a good chance to decompress, spend some time with the kitties, do a little prep and get ready for the week ahead with a new keto recipe. We tend to do a meal we are familiar with that is quick and easy so we have more time to do the fun stuff. If you do the same the “Caturday Recipe” series is for you. No videos, no pop ups, no explanation of the mountain we hiked to pick the lettuce… just a plain ole’ fashioned Chocolate Covered Bacon recipe.
Chocolate Covered Bacon
Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 4 oz sugar-free dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the bacon slices in a single layer.
- Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Let it cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and well combined.
- Dip each bacon strip halfway into the melted chocolate, then place it back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Once the chocolate is firm, remove the chocolate-covered bacon strips from the refrigerator and serve.
