my favorite recipe developed by yours truly involve a car, bacon and chocolate. so basically it is the best recipe ever! ;D
Chocolate covered bacon:
Ingredients:
-1 lb bacon
-.75 lb milk chocolate
Materials needed:
-microwave safe plate
-baking sheet
-wax paper
-spoon
-microwave safe bowl
-Recently driven car (optional)
-paper towel
put a piece of paper towel on a plate, lay the bacon strips on the paper towel, seperating layers of bacon with paper towel, placing a piece of paper towel on top. Microwave bacon in the oven (about one minute per slice) since I ended up with 13 slices of bacon, I had 13 minutes to melt the chocolate and prep for everything else. wipe the counter before placing the chocolate in a bowl.
Chocolate melts at 86 degrees Fahrenheit, but if it exceeds about 100 degrees, the chocolate tempers funny and doesn't re-harden right, so you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler (complicated) in 10 second increments on the microwave (I only have one microwave) some other nice radiant heat source, like near the headers of my car, so place the bowl in a clean part of the engine bay and mix occasionally like so:
by the time the bacon finished cooking the chocolate was almost done, so quickly remove the paper towel right away (to keep it from sticking) and drain the grease, place some wax paper on the baking sheet and I ended up doing a quick 10 second burst in the microwave to finish melting the chocolate. Lay the bacon on the wax paper and drizzle chocolate on the bacon, using your fingers to spread the chocolate around the bacon slices for even coverage, once everything is covered, put the pan in the freezer and allow the chocolate to harden.
the taste is distinctive because the salty sweetness is similar to a salted peanut, and you only really pick up the baconyness strongest in the after taste. you could substitute the hot car with a motorcycle and some aluminum foil (for better ambient heat distribution).
