Chocolate and bacon make everything taste better so why not combine these two to make this slightly addictive keto treat? It's is the perfect marriage: bittersweet dark chocolate with salty bacon and subtle maple tones.

If you want to take this recipe to the next level, top the chocolate-dipped tips in roasted and roughly chopped pecans. Still not convinced? Just follow my video recipe and you'll see how easy it is to make this delicious low-carb treat!

Instead of the brown sugar substitute you can also try plain or maple flavored allulose syrup. To do that, use about a teaspoon of Allulose syrup per slice. (Affiliate link: You can get RxSugar 20% off by using this link or by using the code KETODIET20 at checkout.)

In this recipe, I used dark chocolate because it's low in sugar. If you prefer to use unsweetened chocolate, remember to add extra sweetener.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

Thank you, I have been looking for new Keto Diet recipes.

Looks awesome! How long do they keep in the fridge?

I would keep mine for up to a week - if they lasted this long without being eaten! 😊

Good day, I cannot find a Brown Sugar substitute in South Africa. What else can I use? Thanks, Maryka

Hi Maryka, you can use Erythritol instead (not sure if you can find it in SA) - see the list of ingredients.

I love it! Will definitely try it - thanks!

Thank you!
