[...] More interesting than that, at least in my opinion, is that they’ve been commenting on blogs. Here’s one example on Sharon’s blog. I think that’s smart, as long as they are making comments that add value (otherwise the strategy [...]

I picked up some choco-bacon for dad’s day & my dad thought it was super (which was a bit surprising as he doesn’t usually like sweet/salty combos in food). The rest of the familia preferred the Chocophilia bars and meltaways!

[...] how to improve the recipe though! Best of all, our supper also meant we were allowed to indulge in chocolate covered bacon without guilt, heh. Tagged book, chickpea patties, cooking, Cooking Chronicles, food, Food Matters [...]

Michelle – Kerstin did mention something about having done a similar bar before (chocolate with bacon bits inside), but this is the first time they’ve attempted an entire slice of bacon dipped in chocolate.

Interesting to know that it’s a treat done around the world, though probably more for the sensation than the taste…

Sunterra Market has been selling this for as long as I’ve been in Edmonton, although it might be only on weekends/special occasions.

Its tasty. I’d never go out of my way for it though.

Vosges Haute Chocolate (with an storefront in Las Vegas) offers a bacon chocolate bar – milk chocolate with bits of bacon in it.

Carlo and I tried this yesterday too. We liked it… all right. Kind of like you, I guess. We’re bacon fans, but I think I’ll have my chocolate one side and my bacon on the other. It was fun to try, though.

It made me think of Iron Chef Symon when he did this a year or two back on the ‘Dinner Impossible’ show. I also don’t recall his version having such a thick layer of chocolate, which I think after hearing you describe it would be beneficial to a good bacon after taste.

I am intrigued..both a bacon and a chocolate fan myself. I wondered how the bacon flavours would hold up under the chocolate, and you confirmed my suspicions. Maybe what they should’ve done was use two-three slices of bacon and then covered that in chocolate. Hrm.
