Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F, then lay 13 slices of bacon onto a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. NOW Erythritol and 1 1/2 tsp. Maple Extract over one side of the bacon and rub it in.
- Flip bacon onto the other side and do the same thing. Rub everything in well.
- Bake the bacon for 40-50 minutes until crisp.
- Once the bacon is finished, set aside for 5 minutes to allow it to cool for a moment.
- In a container, render bacon fat by tipping cooking sheet at an angle. This should get you about 5 Tbsp. Bacon Fat.
- Add 4 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder, 2 Tbsp. NOW Erythritol, and 15 Drop Liquid Stevia to the bacon grease and mix well.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a different container so that you can dip the bacon inside. Submerge all the bacon into the chocolate and transfer to a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle 1/4 Cup Chopped Pecans over the bacon before chocolate dries.
- Put the chocolate covered bacon into the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. Preferably overnight.
