This one’s got me into trouble, out of trouble, one SCA food award, into a recipe book, and has paid for troops in a war.
Mark's Infamous Chocolate Bacon Fudge
Ingredients
- 3 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 c butter softened
- 1/4 c heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 lb bacon cooked until crisp
glaze
- 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Line an 8x8" pan with foil or plastic wrap. If foil, grease with butter, oil, or bacon fat.
- In medium saucepan, combine chocolate, milk, butter and cream. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts and is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Crumble bacon, and reserve about 1/4 c. Stir bacon into chocolate mixture. Spoon into prepared pan, smooth with spatula.
- Sprinkle reserved bacon over top of chocolate, and press down slightly.
- Melt 1/2 c chocolate chips and 1/2 Tbsp butter. When smooth, drizzle overall. If desired, sprinkle lightly with course salt.
- Cover, and chill for 4 hours. Cut into squares to serve.
Notes
You will need two 300g bags of chips for this.
I have added one variation on this: Chocolate Chili Bacon Fudge.
In a small bowl, mix together 4 Tbsp brown sugar and 4 tsp crushed chili flakes. When bacon is about half done, sprinkle sugar/chili mixture on the bacon, and let it finish cooking.
