It is no secret that I love food. Two of my favorite foods are chocolate and bacon. But just because you like two things, does not always mean that they should be put together (tequila and table tennis, for example).
Here is a beautiful and unlikely exception, Mo's Bacon Bar from Vosges Chocolates. Put your fears away and go out and get one of these chocolate bars immediately (unless you are vegan, then by all means skip this post). The deep milk chocolate is creamy and rich, paired with crunchy bits of applewood smoked bacon, and then made even more delicious with the addition of Alder wood smoked salt - simply orgasmic. And just like any food that combines the sweet with the salty (kettlecorn, Reeces Peanut Butter Cups), it is highly addictive.
I was given this chocolate as a gift from my friend Kristina, who bought it at her favorite local chocolate shop, Chocolate Covered in Noe Valley. These sweet people know their chocolate.
Being given a gift always wants to make me give back. So, here is a link to my favorite candy website, Candy Blog. Wonderfully organized, with and excellent rating system and amazing photographs, it is a joy to read.
