Your dreams have come true – candy that’s made with sweetened peanut butter and bacon and then dipped in chocolate. Oh, my.
How to Make It
Step 1
Process first 3 ingredients and 6 bacon slices in a food processor 20 to 30 seconds or until finely ground. Stir together bacon mixture and peanut butter in a small bowl until smooth. Cover and chill 2 hours.
Step 2
Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of bacon mixture into 3/4-inch balls. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; chill 1 hour.
Step 3
Chop remaining 2 bacon slices. Microwave chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Dip chilled bacon balls into chocolate. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle tops with bacon. Chill 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

These are the BEST TRUFFLES EVER. The sweet/salty combo is to die for. Made them twice, once for a party and once for my husband--they didn't last long either time! Made them with turkey bacon the second time, which was delicious!

These were awesome! I made them exactly as the recipe listed and served them to several guests. Everyone said they were the best combination if sweet and salty. Yum!

This recipe is not sweet enough for a truffle. Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar. It will be greatly improved. Also, don't use parchment paper. The bottoms of the candies stick to it. Use waxed paper instead. Will make again using the above improvements.
A nice little treat
