Ingredients
Yield: 12 servings
- 1 lb thick-cut bacon
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter
- 2 foil pie tins and foil
- toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Notes
When using a microwave to melt the chocolate and peanut butter, begin heating for 30 seconds then stir. Continue heating in 10 second increments and stirring just until the chocolate is melted.
