One day, Jay and I were joking around and we decided that bacon is so good, it can be put in any food product and make that product exponentially more delicious. Jay was even coming up with a way to make bacon ice cream. Why do we all have this Homer Simpson-like desire for bacon (yes, even those of you who refuse to eat it, the desire is in your genes)? Recently, I was wandering around Cost Plus World Market looking for a treat when I found Mo's Bacon Bar by Vosges. It's chocolate. With bacon. Applewood smoked bacon. Cue the Homer gurgle here....
So I brought it home as a little joke for Jay. we were afraid to try it. We stared at it for a long time wondering if it was going to be wonderful or disgusting. Still, it was bacon and has bacon ever let us down. We tried a bite. We fell in love. The chocolate is creamy and sweet and balances the saltiness of the bacon and smoked salt. The bacon is a little crunchy, so has a nutty texture. The combination takes a few seconds to get used to, but it's like that first time you got syrup on your breakfast sausage. After that moment, you wonder how you could even eat them apart again. At $6.99 for one bar, our love must be a fleeting and rare thing. If loving bacon chocolate is wrong....
