Ready In
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a baking rack on top of a large baking sheet.
- Thread each slice of bacon onto a skewer; place skewered bacon on the baking rack.
- Bake bacon in the preheated oven until crisp; 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.
- Coat each side of the skewered bacon with the chocolate mixture using a pastry brush. Place coated bacon on a sheet of waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Optional toppings: candy sprinkles, finely chopped walnuts, pecans, pistachios, toasted coconut, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, or chopped dried apple chips. Sprinkle on topping of your choice while chocolate is still wet.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

I've have never made this before until last week. I've heard of it occasionally...after all said and done. It was okay. It's much better when served cold out of the refrigerator.
