Ingredients

Scale

2 – 3 strips of lean, nitrate-free bacon, fried crisp and chopped fine
8 – 10 cups popped corn
1 1/2 – 2 cups honey roasted peanuts
2 cups good quality dark chocolate melting wafers (or chocolate chips)

For the top: About 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

Fry up the bacon and then chop it into as small bits as possible.
Line two baking sheets with silicon liners or waxed paper. Sprinkle the popcorn out over the two sheets, spreading it into a single layer as much as possible. Sprinkle the peanuts on top.
Put the chocolate in a bowl and microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir and stir and stir. Microwave another 30 seconds. Stir a lot more. If you still can’t stir out all the chunks of chocolate, microwave another 30 seconds and stir stir stir.
Stir the bacon and chipotle powder into the melted chocolate. Drizzle over the popcorn, then (before the chocolate sets) sprinkle immediately with the sea salt. Set aside until the chocolate is hardened, then break into small chunks and put in an airtight container or tin.
