Bacony goodness, part one.

Bacon, it's not just what's for breakfast anymore. On a recent foray to my favorite cheese boutique I found something I had dreamed of last year whilst making a bacon feta and chocolate omelet. Bacon Chocolate Bars. Yes you read that right. Sweet, salt, rich and smoke plus a little dark chocolate antioxidant benefit to balance out the so not -good -for -you-ness. It's a thing of beauty. And for those of you who don't do dark chocolate- there is also a milk chocolate bar. I haven't tried it. I just can't wrap my mind or my taste buds around the concept of milk chocolate and bacon- I just love that intense dark chocolate flavor. Dark , bold coffees, deep red wines, and deep dark chocolate bars. This bar may set you back as much as $8, but if you love bacon and chocolate, well what can I say, its a worthwhile purchase. Leaving the palace of cheese, I ran into friends having dinner. Excitedly I told them of my discovery. With great reverence one of them asked-"May I hold it, just for a moment?" Her lips quivered. With much regret she relinquished the bar, excused herself from the table and made a fast dash to purchase her own bar. Ah, the power of perfect flavor! You know you need to get your own now - share with friends, two squares is rich enough to satisfy most mortals, 4 squares if you are a choco-baco-holic.
