Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate
- 100 grams Almonds (raw, unsalted)
- 6 slices Cooked bacon (crispy)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure the edges hang over the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
Roughly chop the almonds and set aside. Crumble the cooked bacon slices into small pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a heat-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. You can also use a double boiler if preferred.
Step 4
Once melted, stir in the maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
Step 5
Gently fold the chopped almonds and crumbled bacon into the chocolate mixture, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Step 7
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top for an extra pop of flavor, if desired.
Step 8
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 9
Once firm, lift the chocolate slab out of the dish using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into bars or squares.
