Nutty Chocolate Pig Candy (Bacon)

I usually make this every year for our Christmas pot luck at work. Just some pig candy dipped in chocolate topped with some crushed up nuts. 2lbs of bacon made just shy of 60 pieces. I cut each piece in 1/3's. Took a few pics

I like how you roll @WeberWho? !!!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Did you make yourself a homemade swing rack? Would you mind explaining that process? Good looking pig candy.

Whatever dude.Eggcelsior said:The sweet offsets the salt. Totally healthy.
@Eggcelsior
I suppose it it has enough salt in it for a chaser. Think I might be onto something here. Maybe I can pitch this diet chocolate bacon and tequila as the next fad diet. I'd be ok with it

I like the sound of it but as frequently happens, I see no photo of said pig candy. Which is probably better than having it appear sideways.-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here.

I see SmokeyPitt's images. (Could not see WeberWho's images.)Those look awesome!-----------I feel a whole lot more like I do now than I did when I got here.

They do look awesome. If I have time on Saturday (last minute xmas shoppping) I will make these for a party.@lakewade WeberWho has them "attached" to the post, so they show up as thumbnails. For some reason you may not be seeing the thumbs. Folks have been reporting many strange things like this lately with IE (missing signatures, missing the favorites star, etc).Which came first the chicken or the egg?

@SmokeyPitt Thanks for the pic help!
@lakewade and SmokeyPitt. I have my wife help me when dipping them into into chocolate. You have to constantly keep stirring the chocolate on low heat or it will start to harden up quick and won't apply very well to the bacon. Plus if you add the nuts you want to add them right after they are dipped so they can stick. Doesn't have to be a two person job but makes it a little easier. My biggest suggestion would be to use wax paper under the chocolate bacon when cooling. Makes it real easy to lift off when done cooling. Wouldn't want to come up otherwise"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Thanks for the tips @WeberWho? I'll definitely enlist my wife's help for this. This is totally in her wheelhouse. She makes all kinds of treats for the holidays dipped in chocolate.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
