Chocolate Covered French Fries (With Tofu Bacon)



It seems like an extremely odd combo - but it works quite well. The smoky and crisp tofu, silky, sweet and slightly bitter chocolate paired with fatty peanut butter and crisp and salty french fries. This isn't unhealthy at all - though, the french fries are baked, the tofu is lightly pan-fried and the dark chocolate is about 75% dark chocolate. You can use milk chocolate to make this thick and tantalizing treat even more decadent.



(Chocolate Covered French Fries (With Tofu Bacon)Ingredients)

  • 2 Potatoes (Steamed or Soaked in Cold Water)
  • 1/4 of a Package of Extra-Firm Tofu
  • 1/8 of a Package of Chocolate
  • 1-3 tbl of Peanut Butter
  • Enough Paprika, Chili Powder,Sea Salt to Taste
  • Enough Oil to cook the Potatoes and Tofu

(Directions)
  • Par-cook your potatoes after cutting them into french fry shapes and press your tofu.
  • Let the potatoes cool down on some paper towels and then pan-fry or bake them until thoroughly browned (350 degrees in the oven).
  • Afterwards you can cover your tofu in the spices,then pan fry in a little oil until very crisp.
  • Add the spices to both the potatoes and tofu, then melt your chocolate.
  • Either stuff the french fries into a cone or stack them on your plate and drizzle on the melted chocolate, extra salt, peanut butter and your tofu.
  • Eat while warm and enjoy your blissful (and somewhat healthy) treat!
