Notes
- Any type of bacon will work including turkey bacon.
- Baking chocolate is ideal, as it'll be easier to apply to the bacon. Chocolate chips are also possible but can be thick, so add 1 tbsp coconut oil for spreadability.
- You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler instead of the microwave if you prefer.
