How about tobacco-flavored chocolate? A few days ago, I saw a show on the PBS “extra channel” (the hi-def one that parallels the regular broadcast - not accessible by old fashioned analog TVs) about Bruges, the wonderful colorful old city in Belgium. You know they are known for chocolate. Well, the girl at the counter offered the host “Cuban-cigar flavored chocolate.” (!) Not only a weird chocolate, but a bit of political challenge to US policy as well. The host thought it was interesting, and tasted reasonably authentic, but not sure if “good.” Of course the chocolate couldn’t have much real tobacco extract in it, since oral ingestion of even the nicotine in one cigarette is very toxic.

BTW, many of you might want to see the premier of “Big Bang Theory” tonight, 8:30 PM on CBS. It’s about a couple of physics students who can “… tell their quarks from their quantum physics, but have no clue how women add up. Leave it to their pretty new neighbor, just off a messy breakup, to teach them a thing or two.” Well, let’s hope she’s bright too.

I JUST bought this and BOY HOWDY is it scrumptious. The smokiness of the salt and bacon only intensifies the creaminess and dark sweetness of the chocolate. TRY IT!!!

I once thought bacon went with everything too. In fact, I went to Pike Place in Seattle and purchased some bacon salt because I thought bacon flavor would go good with anything…

Needless to say, bacon does NOT go with everything. For me at least, I’ll stick to the proven bacon formulas.

Thanks kat,

I thought I was going to be the lone voice of reason here.

Dark chocolate and roasted almonds. by all means. (organic and fair trade of course.)

Sean can’t even think about a global warming post after this and the Jaguar.

The quote you’re looking for is — “Move over eggs, bacon just got a new best friend… fudge!”

More than anything else, I find the idea of a bacon chocolate bar disturbing. I can kind of see how the sweet/salty thing would be good, but…I just can’t get over it.

Something about mixing meat and milk chocolate…I’m with Elliot — it’s just wrong. At the very least, it isn’t kosher!

Re: maple+bacon

This is a pretty common combo, at least in the parts of New England I frequent. A yummy way of rendering it, astonishing for the results, considering the simplicity of the prep., is to fry thick bacon up per normal, lay it out flat on a cookie sheet, drench it all with maple syrup, and bake it in the oven until it has the desired texture.

Speaking of cookie sheets…say you made morsels out of the chocobaconbar, and dumped ‘em in your Toll House Cookie dough? Good idea?

Oh, oh! Here’s another: “Hey! You got your Bacon Bar in my peanut butter! Well you got your peanut butter on my Bacon Bar!” Two great tastes…?

I’m a huge fan of the Vosges bacon bar… and your blog. Delighted that the two collided.
