Chocolate and Bacon

In bars

You would think it would be terrible, but you would be wrong. And I liked the dark chocolate better than the milk; the contrasting tastes were more pronounced.

I've seen those Vosges bacon and chocolate bars in the store before. They look really good. The picture on the wrappers really sells it. I was tempted to try one even if I don't eat meat.

They have some other flavors mixed with chocolate that look really good also, like blood orange caramel, smoke and stout, coconut and banana, matcha green tea and Guajillo & Chipotle Chili. (from their website)

The stout was not bad, but I'm not a beer person so I'm not going to have it again. I've had multiple chili and chocholates sone good some terrible. The Vosges stuff is about in the middle. THink of them as the entry level to the good stuff.

Chocolate covered jalapenos are also surprisingly good.
