      💡Tips

      1. Get The Bacon Extra Crispy

      For the best texture in your bark, you want your bacon bits to be super crispy – not chewy or soft. Cook them until they’re darker than you might usually make them (but not burnt!).

      Once they cool, they should shatter easily when you press them. This extra crispiness ensures they won’t become chewy when mixed with the butter. 

      2. Storage 

      Once your bark is completely frozen and broken into pieces, store it in the frizer in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

      Even in the freezer, butter can absorb other flavors, so make sure your container seals well. The bark will keep for up to two or three months in the freezer.

      FAQ

      Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

      Yes, you can use salted butter, but keep in mind that your bark will be much saltier since the bacon already adds salt.

      The browning process concentrates the butter’s flavors, including salt. If you only have salted butter, consider using less crispy bacon or look for a low-sodium bacon option.

      How long does this bark stay good in the freezer?

      The bark stays fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months when stored properly in an airtight container. However, it tastes best within the first two weeks. After that, the bacon can start losing its crispiness.

      My bark melts too quickly when I take it out. What’s wrong?

      If your bark melts too quickly, it might not have frozen long enough. Give it at least 2 hours in the freezer, or even better, leave it overnight.

      Also, the butter might not have been browned enough – properly browned butter sets firmer.
