Bacon Fudge, yes you read that right! AKa, clogged artery dessert

So I found this interesting dessert recipe online and thought I'd try it. Well I tried a bite and that was it. I think some people would love this, but as a person whose not a big bacon fan, this one wasn't for me.

What you will need:

3 c semisweet chocolate chips

1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 pinch of salt

1.5 tsp vanilla extract

1 c. heavy whipping cream

9 oz milk chocolate (chopped). I just bought milk chocolate chocolate chips

12 slices bacon ( I used turkey bacon)

1 pinch salt

1. For fudge, melt chocolate chips (semisweet) in sauce pan over very low heat. When chips are nearly melted, stir in the condensed milk until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. Then add the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture into a 9x9 inch pan and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

2. For ganache topping, place heavy cream and milk chocolate into the top of a double boiler pan over simmering water and stir until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and pour ganache over the chilled fudge in an even layer. Return to fridge for at least 2 more hours.

3. Slice bacon into 1/2 inch squares and place in a large, deep skillet and fry until crisp, about 10 mins. I baked mine at 350 for about 20 minutes until crispy. Drain bacon on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

4. Spread bacon bits over the ganache layer, pressing bacon lightly into the fudge. Return to fridge, chill until bacon is cooled, at least 30 minutes. Cut into squares. Enjoy. 

I actually think mixing the bacon in with the second layer of fudge would be better. Or make this fudge without the bacon, it's yummy!
