Holidays, Man Bait for Valentines Day
They say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach~
Here are some goodies to get you there in a hurry!!
One bite of chocolate drizzled caramel maple bacon and he’ll be hooked!
Toss in a chocolate dipped caramel drizzled potato chip and he’ll be all yours!
I cooked the bacon on a sheet pan on parchment paper with skewers and no skewers~
Drain it well, and melt the chocolate with a little cream, just a drizzle~I was just making a little, enough for one hunky Valentine, so I used 2 squares of a large Godiva dark chocolate bar and about 1 tsp cream. Put chocolate in a measuring cup in the microwave and cook for 20 second intervals at 50% power until melted
Lay the bacon and chips on a piece of wax paper and drizzle or dip
Next melt the caramel, using the same method.
Place the pan of ooey gooey goodness in the fridge to harden
Then bait your trap!
Show your Valentine some LOVE~
With chips on the side!
Swoon…..gasp…..faint……go weak in the knees~
I am participating in Mystery Ingedient Club over at Rattlebridge Farm for Foodie Friday this week~the mystery ingredient is dark chocolate. Pop on over to check out all the amazing chocolate recipes, the party starts at 7pm tonight!
Here’s the recipe:
MAN BAIT [chocolate caramel bacon and potato chips]
Ingredients
- 3 half slices of Maple bacon

- dark chocolate
- caramel bits**
- 1 T half and half or cream
Instructions
- Thread bacon on short skewers.* Bake at 350 on a parchment paper lined baking sheet until crisp but not burnt.

- Lay potato chips and cooked bacon on a piece of wax paper.
- Chop chocolate and melt with about 1 tsp cream, in a glass measuring cup at 50% power for 20 seconds, stir and cook for 20 more seconds. Stir. Do not over cook, the chocolate will seize and get lumpy.

Oh my Jenna…your husband’s a goner! The chocolate with the salt combo that makes it irresistible bait and the addition of the caramel takes it over the top 🙂
Jenna, I have to agree! I’m thinking of a double batch, I want to swoon too!
Thanks Emily!
Sweet and salty. Perfect!
Whoa! Every man in the neighborhood would be lining up at your door for those!!! You’d have an awful lot of angry wives to deal with!!! 🙂
Too funny, I was kind of thinking the same thing as I was making it!
We love sweet and salty and these treats look great!
Thanks Ellen~
Oh dear this looks sinfully good!!
Yes, it should come with a danger sign 🙂
Looks delicious. Can’t think of a soul that wouldn’t like these. Danger sign is right.
Happy Valentines Day.
Jenna, I love the title of your post! These look soooo good. I can’t wait to try that bacon on my sweetheart. Actually, I can’t wait to try that bacon myself. Thanks so much for linking to the Valentine party. laurie
Are those the Kettle chips from Costco? I LOVE choco with bacon and chips! Oh double yum! This is an awesome idea! I never thought to make my own chocolate bacon, I was planning on buying a bar of it for $6, but I will make my own now! and Godiva chocolate is just the best!
Thanks Heather, the chips are just plain Ruffles brand potato chips, I did find Kettle brand Bacon potato chips at Fresh Market the other day. Thanks for visiting!
