Ten Strange Chocolate Covered Treats

1. Chocolate covered French fries.
2. Chocolate covered beef jerky.
3. Chocolate covered pork loin with caramel.
4. Chocolate covered chili peppers.
5. Chocolate covered bacon.
6. Chocolate covered squid.
7. Chocolate covered insects (ants, cockroaches, or crickets).

10. Chocolate covered baby back ribs.

Depending on your palate you may be turned off by the list. Others may be excited by the chocolate possibilities. Those who are willing to experiment with chocolate covered bugs are far and few. However, experimenting with the sweet taste of chocolate and the spiciness of chili peppers is more likely. Chocolate combined with the salty flavor of bacon has grown in popularity. A local candy store in my area is noticing a recent demand for this delicacy. Many of the chocolates can be ordered online or you can make them at home. If you are feeling adventurous start chocolate dipping!

6. While the chocolate is melting line a cookie sheet or plate with wax paper.
7. Once bacon has cooled and the chocolate has melted it is time to dip.
8. Dip each piece of bacon in the melted chocolate.
9. Place on wax paper.
