What, now?

Mo's Bacon Bar from Vosges Haut Chocolat: Applewood smoked bacon, alderwood smoked salt, 49% deep milk chocolate. I am eating a piece of one now.

It's...kind of gross, frankly. I love salt-and-chocolate combinations, but this is a one-time-only moment of whimsy. I was bored.

Is bacon-laced chocolate a sign of the decline and fall of human civilization?

For what it's worth, I didn't like the 49% milk chocolate bacon bar, either; I was disappointed and felt it would've gone better with a dark chocolate. Three months later, Vosges released a 62% dark chocolate bacon bar that tasted much better to me.

I saw that one in the shop this afternoon, but, being more of a milk chocolate fan, I went with that. I'm not sure a darker chocolate would solve the fundamental problem of the bacon for me (though I came home and had bacon for dinner, so it's not as if I dislike the stuff!).

What's amazing is the variety of chocolate-based creations out there. I remember when Hershey Bars were just about the whole picture.
