Chocolate Covered Bacon and Pecans (Low Carb)

Ingredients

• Bacon
• Sugar free syrup (My favorite is Health Express: Roasted Pecan Syrup)
• Cocoa powder
• Cinnamon
• Coconut oil
• Low carb chocolate (I used Simply Life sugar free dar chocolate from Trader Joe's)
• Crushed pecans or coconut
• Baking sheet lined with foil

• Line a baking sheet with foil, preheat oven to 400 degrees and partially cook bacon.
• Mix together 1/4 cup syrup, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• Dip the bacon in syrup mixture. You can do this will full strips of bacon or cut smaller pieces.
• Bake on a wire rack until crispy and let bacon cool completely

• At this point you have slightly sweet bacon that tastes great. I put aside 1/3 of the pieces at this point.
• Melt 1/2 bar of low carb chocolate and 1 teaspoon coconut oil (in a double boiled or in the microwave)
• Dip bacon into chocolate and place on a lined baking sheet
• Crush pecans and sprinkle over bacon
• Alternatively you can snip the tip off a ziplock back of chocolate and drizzle it over the bacon
• Cool in freezer
• I served these with roasted pecans that I dipped half in chocolate and placed on a baking sheet to cool.
