Chocolate Covered Bacon. Yes. It's on the diet.

O.M.G. I found a Paleo friendly snack my daughter will eat. Not that she should be snacking on these regularly, but hey, I'm counting it as a success.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp coconut oil
2 lbs lean bacon-Sliced however you like
1 lb good quality organic chocolate. I don't love the 100% cacao, but the bars that are 70%+ are good.
4 Tbsp Irish Butter

Directions:
Drop coconut oil in frying pan. Just enough to keep the bacon from sticking before it starts leaking juices. Fry up bacon in batches-don't clear out the juices in between. Just let it spatter baby.


 Pat bacon between paper towels to get the grease off. Let the bacon cool to room temp. While you're letting it cool, put butter and chocolate in a small saucepan and melt on low, stirring constantly to keep it from burning.


Once chocolate is melted and smooth, remove from heat. Proceed with dipping bacon halfway into the melted chocolate and put on a rack to cool. I put mine in the fridge to speed up the process.


Eat up!! This is seriously awesome.
