Chocolate + bacon. Was there ever a better pair? Well, maybe peanut butter and jelly.. Cookies and milk.. Spaghetti and meatballs.. But hey, chocolate and bacon are an underrepresented match!
I love salty and sweet combinations. If you do as well, then this Chocolate Dipped Candied Bacon is for you! This was my first time making candied bacon and I give it a two-thumbs-up. I have been thinking of some out-of-the-box versions like adding in some spice or a fruity element. But the chocolate here really takes it to the next level.
And, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s valid to add chocolate to anything, right?!
I used my favorite dairy free chocolate chips, but any other dairy free or dark chocolate brand will work. I included a note to use carob chips if you are following the AIP diet in the elimination phase.
*Disclaimer* I have not tried carob as of the time I am writing this, but I know it can be substituted to replicate chocolatey goodness.
I had fun making this cute Valentine’s Day presentation. I used four wine glasses, pink and red construction paper made into cones that I cut down, and some parchment paper.
For a non-craft blogger, I think I did all right! 😉
It would be super cute to replicate this presentation if you want to surprise your kids, spouse or a coworker by putting one of these in front of them. Just make sure you know they will eat it soon or can put it in the fridge!
I don’t know about you, but I would rather receive food as a gift over jewelry or anything else non-edible, pretty much any day. Unless it’s a trip to somewhere warm. Then I choose that! Boy, am I over winter.

Chocolate + bacon… Is that a combo you can get behind? If you say yes, then we can definitely be friends.
Happy Valentine’s Day! xo
