Aaron was busy talking to a friend at Wegmans and left me unattended for too long. As a result I wandered off and found a chocolate bar with bacon in it.
I have been curious about chocolate covered bacon for awhile, so when I saw a conveniently packaged, ready to go Vosges Mo's Bacon Bar, I couldn't resist.
It was tasty... salty and sweet. The bacon bits are quite small though, my appetite has been whet and now I want a true strip of chocolate bacon.
Two thoughts - #1 Who is Mo? #2 How long did it take them to find the ideal strip of bacon to feature on the packaging?
I like salty & sweet foods so I will have to give this a try. Have you ever had bacon mixed into waffle batter? Next time you're in San Fran, try to visit Stacks for it's waffle bacon. Yum-yum.

I have to tell my boss about this. He thinks bacon is a food group. Here in Portland we have a company called Xocolatyl de David that makes bacon truffles. Must be a trend.
ReplyDeleteI went to a party a few months ago where they had a chocolate fondue pot going and one of the items to dip was bacon. It was the first time I ever saw it, either way I tried it and simply put...it just tasted like bacon with chocolate to me? I guess I'm just the minority that doesn't really get the whole chocolate and bacon fiasco :P

I actually found a recipe awhile ago and made chocolate bacon with a toffee topping. While it tasted good, the refrigeration changed the texture of the bacon and i didnt like it...my two teen boys DESTROYED the tray of it though!
ReplyDeleteI reviewed Mo's Bacon Bar on my blog last summer (I think). Om nom nom. I've noticed that my Whole Foods now sells a teeny size version at their checkouts. They know my weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my Go To Gifts. Personally I like the dark chocolate one to the milk. Everyone I give it to thinks it is cool.
ReplyDeleteThis past xmas the teachers were all scared to try it first until a teacher from last year told them it was good. Ha!
