Chocolate Peanut Bacon Bark Recipe – Yummmmm
January 13, 2012 No CommentsI saw this recipe on FramedCooks.com for Chocolate Peanut Bacon Bark and had to share it here. It looks amaaaaaaazing, don’t you think?
The recipe comes from Susan Russo at NPR and goes like this:
Ingredients:
- 8 strips bacon
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate (chunks or chips)
- 1 cup unsalted peanuts
Directions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, turning several times, until browned and done, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Chop finely.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add chocolate to a double boiler. If you don’t have one, fill a pan with a couple of inches of water. Place a glass bowl over the pan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water underneath. Once the water begins to boil, add the chocolate chips. Using a spatula, stir continuously, until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the bacon and peanuts. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread to 3/8-inch thickness. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. The bark should be hard and chilled.
- Place bark on a cutting board and cut into pieces — any size or shape you’d like. Serve at about room temperature.
