Maple Walnut Chocolate Dipped Bacon – Keto Approved!

Keto Chocolate Dipped BaconMaple Walnut Chocolate Dipped Bacon

I don’t know what it is about Maple and Walnut but I just love that flavor combination and these Maple Walnut Chocolate dipped bacon slices take care of that craving perfectly!

Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian and maple seems to be a thing with us Canadians or maybe it’s because I grew up with my Dad’s nut trees (he had both walnut and hazelnuts). 

Whatever the reason it’s a flavor profile that I just love.

A few notes about making these Keto Chocolate Dipped Bacon slices before you begin:

  • I was able to find naturally smoked zero carb maple bacon. Again, could be a Canadian thing. If you don’t have that don’t despair! I recently used this sugar free maple syrup for my bacon wrapped asparagus recipe and it was perfect! Are you seeing a trend here yet? MMMMMM  Maple!
  • Oven cooked bacon has about 240 calories and 10g fat per 6 slices when done properly because it loses so much of the fat and calories when baked crisp. Invest in a large good quality baking sheet with sides. This is how I make all my bacon now!
  • Yes there is a difference between parchment paper and wax paper. In this recipe, use the parchment paper for baking and the wax paper for setting.

Let’s make some Maple Walnut Chocolate Covered Bacon shall we?
