My brother-in-law, Russell, and his partner, Todd, live in Oswego, NY. They went to dinner at The Red Sun Fire Roasting Co. and ordered this dessert. Fortunately, four of them shared it, otherwise, I think you should have paramedics standing by….

Chocolate Covered Bacon

16 slices applewood smoked bacon, thick cut, cooked crisp and cooled, cut in half
3 (4 oz) bars semisweet chocolate, chopped (recommended: Ghirardelli)
1 (4 oz) bar white chocolate, chopped

Melt both the semisweet chocolate and white chocolate in separate double boilers. Whisk until completely smooth. Remove them from the heat.

Dunk the bacon into the semisweet chocolate and make sure it is completely coated. Let excess drip off and lay on a parchment or waxed paper lined quarter sheet tray. Repeat with all the bacon slices. Drizzle the white chocolate over the chocolate covered bacon. Put the sheet tray in the refrigerator to set, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the sheet tray to a serving dish and serve.
