Chocolate Covered Bacon
Ooooh yeah. Chocolate and bacon… a couple of my favorite things.
But together?!?
Admittedly, a teeny bit of doubt crept through my mind before taking that first brave bite. But once those sweet, salty flavors hit my tongue, intrigue took over. Immediately following sweet and salty comes a smooth smoky flavor that pairs deliciously with bitter sweet chocolate.
Overall, pretty damn good. The only improvement I’d like to see is a bit of toasted ancho chillies infused into that chocolate. Mmmm… I can already taste it. The rich earthiness of toasted anchos highlighting those smoky flavors. Yeah. Then comes the heat.

A bit like salted chocolate caramel…though I suspect that sounds easier on the mind than chocolate covered bacon. I do agree that chillies would go well though….like they do in truffles
