Chocolate-Covered Bacon Bites Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Align bacon in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until crisp. Remove from oven and transfer bacon to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and cool.

Cut bacon into 2-inch pieces, set aside. Remove paper towels from baking sheet and line baking sheet with wax paper.

Place chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.

Dip bacon in melted chocolate and allow excess chocolate to run off, then transfer to the wax paper-lined baking sheet, aligning coated pieces in a single layer.

Transfer chocolate-coated bacon to the refrigerator and allow to chill for about 15 minutes, or until chocolate has set.

Place white chocolate candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.

Transfer mixture to a small resealable bag, and cut a small tip off of one corner. Drizzle melted white chocolate coating over chocolate-covered bacon.

Transfer to refrigerator until white chocolate has set. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container.
