Notes
- Depending on your oven, bacon may cook faster or slower. Keep an eye on it after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
- Don't use white chocolate or milk chocolate, as they contain added sugars that could kick you out of ketosis.
- If you prefer dark chocolate over cocoa powder, opt for unsweetened dark chocolate with at least 85 percent cocoa.
- Add your personal touch with additional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded unsweetened coconut, or dark chocolate chips.
- If chocolate becomes too thick, include extra coconut oil until it reaches your desired consistency.
