Chocolate covered candied bacon 3 ways

Candied bacon is amazing but dipping it into chocolate takes it over the edge. This is one amazing treat.

Candied bacon is one of my favorite sweet and savory treats. It has the perfect balance of flavors and gets even better when it takes a bath in chocolate. Oh my! Talk about tasty. I’m not sure which flavor is my favorite out of this bunch because they are all special in their own way. A little salty, a little sweet and a little spicy. Trust me, if you love bacon you’re going to love this treat.
