Dark Chocolate Bacon Bark

Ingredients

2 tbsp hazelnuts

5 slices Indiana Kitchen bacon

24 oz dark chocolate

2 tbsp almonds chopped

2 tbsp pistachios shells removed and chopped

2 tbsp walnuts chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and arrange hazelnuts in one single layer. Toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool, then roughly chop and set aside.

2. In a small frying pan over medium heat, add bacon and cook for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Place cooked bacon onto plate lined with paper towels to absorb the grease. Roughly chop and set aside.

3. Place the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl on top of a boiling saucepan of water. Continuously stir the chocolate until it is melted.

4. Pour the melted chocolate on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spread the chocolate evenly using a rubber spatula.

5. Sprinkle the chocolate with bacon, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios and walnuts. Allow the bark to cool in a refrigerator before serving. Enjoy!
