Applewood smoked bacon Alder smoked salt deep milk chocolate
Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate combination.
Crisp, buttery, compulsively irresistible bacon and milk chocolate combination has long been a favorite of mine. I started playing with this combination at the tender age of six while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in maple syrup. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of fried bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. Just a bite of the bacon was too salty and yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate syrup. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point, for on that plate something magical happened: the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it–chocolate.

Too bad I’m not allowed to send you some Belgian chocolate. It would have been my pleasure 🙂
Hi bert,
How about some Belgian ale, then? ;^)
Is that for chocolate bacon for Darwin?
Darwin isn’t allowed to have chocolate OR bacon. Both chocolate and pork are bad for doggies.
Is Ale allowed to get into the States? I thought all food was prohibited to enter the country?
If not, I can send you some chocolate and some ale 🙂
Heck, I have no idea what they allow into the country these days.
Apparently if you’re shipping it from China, you can poison us with lead and melamine.
From Belgium, I dunno. The only thing I ever had shipped here that I wasn’t “supposed” to be able to get was absinthe. Good stuff, don’t know why they don’t sell it here. Our government simply hates for people to actually enjoy themselves, I think.
Wow. Homer would DEFINATELY like this one. Me, too… D’Oh!
“Both chocolate and pork are bad for doggies.”
Humm, I knew about chocolate but not about pork. I thought the nitrates in the bacon would be the reason not to feed it to dogs. I never feed it to my dogs because it contains it and so much salt.
Pork affects dog livers and can be toxic, especially to small dogs. Yeah, I find out all kinds of stuff from my vet. They aren’t supposed to eat grapes either, but my dogs snack on our grapevines and it hasn’t hurt them yet. They are largish dogs, though.
Donna,
As soon as our appartment is finished, you’ll have to send me your address and I’ll send you a belgian Duvel (beer) and Cote d’Or (chocolate). How’s that for a deal? 🙂
OMG! How do you find these things? You are my bacon dowser. 🙂
Hi Kathryn!
Baby is asleep, huh? ;^)
You’re supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps, my dear – go back to bed!
And Mac at Pesky Apostrophe turned me on to Vosges – they have lots more really weird chocolates.
There’s another cool chocolate place here in San Diego called Chuao Chocolatier – they have awesome chocolate, too. Not as exotic, but they’re doing a lot of beer and wine pairings with chocolate that are very nice.

Yum.
Yes, I’ll sleep more, I promise. I just wanted to catch up on a few select blogs. 🙂
