Check out this site http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/ click on chocolate bars and check out the Mo's Bacon Bar, ingredients include smoked bacon, smoked salt and chocolate. The other bars sound fabulous, as well.

I've had it - it's not that good. I really wanted to like it, but to no avail.

I was reading this quote shortly before coming across this thread...

“The question that women casually shopping for perfume ask more than any other is this: ‘What scent drives men wild?’

After years of intense research, we know the definitive answer. It is bacon.” Said by Tania Sanchez, perfume critic and co-author (with Luca Turin) of “Perfumes: The Guide” (Viking; $27.95)

taken from an article by John Lanchester on the New Yorker website at http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/b ... lanchester

Went to a tasting at Domaine Serene that featured different chocolates with pinot noir.

One of the chocolates contained bacon. I didn't like it at all. Both of the women in our group did. Go figure.

It's that sweet/salty thing. I'd probably like it. I can't imagine it would be a whole lot different (or worse) than dipping bacon into maple syrup, which I do whenever I have a "full" breakfast.
Hello. My name is Carrie, and I...I....still like oaked Chardonnay. (Please don't judge.)
