Thread each strip of bacon onto a wooden skewer making it as flat as possible.
Place on a rack in a large baking pan. Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until crisp. Cool completely.
Combine chocolate chips and shortening; melt in a microwave and stir until smooth, be sure not to overheat your chocolate. Or if you prefer you can melt in a double boiler.
With a pastry brush, coat bacon on both sides with melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper – lined baking sheet.
Top each strip with toppings as desired, this must be done before chocolate hardens. Refrigerate until firm.
