My sister-in-law dragged me to a fancy cheese shop a few days ago. I’m not a huge fan of cheese (although we did have a lovely Stilton with bits of fruit in it) but cheese shops usually have chocolate too. I found a chocolate bar that I simply could not resist; it combines chocolate with my other favorite food: bacon. There are actual little pieces of chewy bacon, plus a bit of salt. It’s supposed to be the perfect mixture of salty and sweet, which is my absolute favorite. And despite it being $7.50 I had to try it.
Verdict: it was very, very good! It’s definitely not an everyday candy bar. More of a special occasion thing. If you are a fan of salty/sweet I would highly recommend it if you come across one. Although my SIL, who will eat any sort of hideous-smelling cheese, thought this chocolate bar was “too weird”.
I’m thinking that bacon bar sounds pretty darn good.
I would try it.
I usually enjoy strange combinations of foods, but this doesn’t strike me as sounding very tempting. But maybe it’s good. I’d have to try it. I love cheeses, Stilton is awesome.
I love bacon. I love chocolate. I love exotic foods. But I’m pretty sure that sounds disgusting. Are you SURE it was good?
yeah. what arriane said.
it makes me very nervous.
That is really funny, you know I have actually seen this candy bar before. I must say that I thought it was an odd pairing, but I am glad to hear that you were more open to it than I was and tried it.
Maybe the next time I come across something that I think sounds a little odd I won’t be so inclined to look the other way. I am glad that it was good.
I didn’t know you could make chocolate any more fattening….
That does not appeal to me, even in my pregnant (ate a half of bacon yesterday) state. Glad you tried it.
