Course Appetizer, Dessert, Gift, Snack
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 3 half slices of Maple bacon
  • 10 large ruffled potato chips
  • 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.
  • Drain well.
  • 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.
  • Immediately drizzle bacon and dip chips in melted chocolate. Repeat with caramel bits using about 1 tsp cream. Drizzle over bacon and chips. Place pan in refrigerator to harden. Makes 1 serving

Notes

*bacon on skewers will not cook properly in a skillet. Just eliminate skewers and fry if you prefer.
**I used Kraft Caramel Bits, that are made for baking. My grocery store doesn’t carry them but I found them at Walmart. You can use wrapped caramels if you can’t find the bits.
