Wanting to see what all the fuss was about, I took two strips

I then arranged them on a plate and placed a square of Green &
Black organic "Maya Gold" chocolate on each, then put the plate
in the microwave and set it for 20 seconds.

It quickly became apparent 20 seconds was far too long --
I took it out after 10 or 15, but 5 seconds would have worked.

Other than over-melting the chocolate, they tasted wonderful.
I don't think the orange/spice flavoring in the "Maya Gold"
added anything so next time I'll use plain dark chocolate.


You can also let bacon slices sit in brown sugar for a few hours
then bake it that way, covered with a nice dose of brown sugar.

Bacon Candy.

Now this sounds good. I've actually collected
several recipes for this sort of thing but haven't
gotten around to trying any of them yet. However,
the bacon/chocolate combo doesn't appeal at all.
I love bacon and I love chocolate but I think they
should remain segregated.
