Ingredients

4 cups dark chocolate morsels
3 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
1/8 cup whole espresso beans
1 tablespoon flaked sea salt

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large glass bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Pour chocolate out onto the parchment lined cookie sheet and spread into an even layer.

Allow the chocolate to harden. To speed the process, you may place the cookie sheet in the fridge or freezer, but this does affect the glossiness of the finished product.
Once hard, break into individual serving pieces.

Mmmm that looks really good! I'm not the biggest fan of coffee/espresso things, but I might like it if it's paired with bacon and chocolate! My sister would love it for sure.

Hmmmmm...although I'm not really a big fan of bacon, I love that this recipe isn't so overloaded with it that it would take away from the other ingredients as most recipes that call for bacon usually do. Dark chocolate and espresso go so well together I'm kinda curious to see what the bacon brings to it and just may have to give it a try.
