everything's better with bacon......

MMMMMM good!
one of my favorite candy bars of ALL times.....which happens to cost two arms and one leg, is a dark chocolate bacon with sea salt. so when i heard from a friend a recipe for a bacon chocolate bark, i jumped at the chance to try it!!!

i took her recipe and tweaked it to fit me :)

NEED:
2 bags ghiradeli milk choc chips
2 bars ghiradeli dark choc bars
1 package cooked bacon (cut into small bits with scissors before cooking)--drained and cooled
1 bag kraft caramels (unwrapped) and missing a few that your spouse ate
splash of half and half
coarse sea salt
parchment paper


DO:
over a double boiler (fancy way of saying a pot of water with a metal bowl on top) melt the two chocolates together--stirring OFTEN!

pour onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. smooth out. sprinkle with bacon. place in freezer.

melt caramels with the splash of the half and half--in the microwave--stirring every 30 seconds until melted

take the bark out of the freezer. drizzle with caramel. sprinkle with sea salt and then place back in the freezer.

break up it into chunks when nice and hard! ENJOY!
