I’m sure you remember the delicious excursion we took when I raved about Vosges Haut-Chocolat.

Well, today I visited the Vosges web site to see what they’ve got cookin’ - and boy - they really are cooking: bacon-chocolate bars! This sounds kind of kinky…like some sort of culinary perversion.

I don’t know whether to cheer or sneer.

I love the flavor of Applewood smoked bacon, and I think the entire universe and the outer galaxies know that I have a lust for good chocolate, but I’m not so sure this combo sits well with me.

But then again, I have a strange palate and I do find myself combining all kinds of “wrong” foods and secretly savoring them…so maybe I’ll relish this concoction!

Per the Vosges site…

Bacon Exotic Candy Bar

Applewood smoked bacon + Alder smoked salt + deep milk chocolate

Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate combination.

“Crisp, buttery, compulsively irresistible bacon and milk chocolate combination has long been a favorite of mine. I started playing with this combination at the tender age of six while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in maple syrup. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of fried bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. Just a bite of the bacon was too salty and yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate syrup. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point, for on that plate something magical happened: the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it–chocolate.”
