Cook the Bacon:
Fry the bacon until crisp, drain it well, and chop it into small pieces.

The bacon has to be crisp before it lands in the pancake batter, where its salty edge meets melting chocolate. Served upside down with warm caramel, this stack gleefully crosses breakfast with dessert.
This pancake knows exactly what it is: sweet, salty, messy, and absolutely not pretending to be health food. The bacon has to be cooked crisp before it goes into the pancake, otherwise it gets chewy and loses the whole point. Once the pancake flips, the chocolate softens against the griddle and the bacon gets one more shot of heat, which makes the whole thing taste like breakfast and dessert landed on the same plate. Caramel, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and extra bacon finish the job.

Fry the bacon until crisp, drain it well, and chop it into small pieces.


Ladle the batter onto the griddle and scatter bacon and chocolate chips over the wet tops.

Flip the pancakes so the bacon and chocolate side cooks against the griddle.

Serve the pancakes topping-side up so the bacon and chocolate are visible.
