Chocolate-Covered Candied Bacon

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.

2. 2

   In a small bowl combine brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Generously coat one side of the bacon strips with the brown sugar mixture (about 2 tablespoons per strip), pressing lightly to adhere.

3. 3

   Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on two wire racks placed on top of two parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 375u00b0F, or until bacon is cooked through. Cool completely (about 20 minutes).

4. 4

   In a microwaveable bowl, add chocolate chunks and coconut oil and warm on high in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until all the chocolate has completely melted, about 2 minutes total.

5. 5

   Dip the bacon strips in the melted chocolate vertically, covering more than half of the strip. Place strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to solidify for about 20 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator. Finish with sea salt flakes. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
