You can find bacon in over a thousand recipes, from your grandmother’s homemade Split Pea Soup to Smoked Macaroni & Cheese. They’re all delicious. But after many weeks of searching for baking inspiration I came to the conclusion that there just aren’t enough desserts featuring this decadent ingredient. By now you should know that based on my other recipes I have an infatuation with anything sweet and salty. My latest creation, Maple Bacon Toffee Bark, combines crisp salty bacon, sweet toffee, and rich caramel. Add a hint of sea salt and your taste buds will be sent in overload with the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory.
Maple Bacon Toffee Bark
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of milk chocolate
- 8-9 strips of crisp bacon
- 1 cup of English Toffee Bits
- Sea Salt
- 3 tbsp of butter
- Urban Accents Sea Salted Caramel Corn Popcorn Drizzle
Instructions:
- Using a food processor grind up crisp bacon strips until chopped into smaller pieces.
- In microwave safe glass bowl melt 2 cups of milk chocolate bark or morsels for 30 seconds on 50% power. Stir with rubber spatula and continue to heat in 30 second intervals until melted. Each time add remainder of chocolate little by little until mixture is melted and smooth.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper and pour chocolate mixture on top, smooth out and level with rubber spatula.

What size pan would you suggest? This is my first time making toffee/bark and I don't think I want a super thick bark.
I suggest using a glass baking dish size 9×13. It's a tad bit larger than the one I used but it should make it thin enough to your liking. You can always start by adding a layer of chocolate then adding another if you feel like it isn't thick enough. You do want it to be strong enough to hold your toppings.
