And so, to recreate the two glorious nights it took me to pull this off -- and cause our apartment to smell of bacon for roughly a week -- I hereby present you with a step-by-step guide to chocolate-covered bacon.
Step 1: Fry lotsa bacon.
Step 2: Melt chocolate in which to dip delicious bacon.
Step 3: Dip all the bacon in the chocolate and lay on parchment paper. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 4: Drizzle with white chocolate to emulate the pure white streaks of fat that make bacon so delectable. Et voila!
In case you're wondering, the refined palettes of my fellow nonprofit professionals deemed my dish third out of 16 other chocolate-themed concoctions. I guess chocolate-covered bacon is far more refined than you'd think.

In theory, I like this. Salty and sweet. Savory and chocolatey. It's good...in theory.
Your execution is fab as well.
I just don't think I could actually go there with the chocolate dipped bacon.
For me, it's a fon-don't.
Get it...fon-don't.
Forget it, I'm a gay.
Ah, but in our world, a gay is a very good thing indeed. A gay would appreciate the wonder duo of chocolate and bacon.
Seems like that would go well with beer. Oh, wait, that's everything (except mayonaisse, which goes well with nothing).
If you ever go to Portland, you must visit your bacon-experimenting forebearers at Voodoo Donut (voodoodoughnut.com) and get the maple bacon bar - it's even better than their "cock and balls" offering.
