Okay, admittedly, I have gone a little bacon crazy with this one, and yes, you could just use one of these bacon preparations and still have a mighty fine cup of hot chocolate.

Ingredients

For the Sugared Bacon

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 4 thin slices bacon
  • ¼

Method

Make the sugared bacon: Combine the oil and bacon in a small sauté pan over medium heat and cook until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and let cool for about 5 minutes. Save the rendered bacon fat for another use.

In a mini-prep or food processor, combine the bacon and sugar and process
