Vosges Haut Choc Bar Mos Dark Bacon

62% Dark Chocolate With: hickory smoked uncured bacon; Alderwood smoked salt. US inspected and passed by Department of Agriculture. Bacon + Chocolate? I began experimenting with bacon + chocolate at the tender age of 6, while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in Aunt Jemima syrup, as children often do. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes lay 3 strips of sizzlin'' bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. And then, the magic - just a bite of the bacon was too salty and I yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate and syrup, so I combined the two. This was a turning point: 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. From there it was just a matter of time and what began as a love of salt and sweet quickly unraveled into an obsession. First, the unveiling of the royal coupling in solid bar form, blending bits and pieces of hickory smoked uncured bacon with a sprinkling of Alderwood smoked salt and milk chocolate. And now, at long last, a dose of bacon for the dark chocolate enthusiasts: same seductive recipes, but in a dark chocolate hue. Really, what doesn''t taste better with bacon?
