They had something similar to this on one of our morning shows. I think it was chocolate covered bacon. The hosts that tasted it said it was very good. I'm not sure though that I would buy it. Probably just another fad

They were giving away samples at Whole Foods the other day.

I prefer virgin chocolate, thanks.

I have tried it, and yes, it's ambrosia. I've also had chocolate made with powdered red chiles and bacon. That's delicious too.

I would try it but I can't say it appeals a great deal. I tend to like my Chocolate "virgin", very bitter and very dark ( about 80% minimum cocoa butter). I am not even that keen on most chocolates so it would have to be pretty subtle for me to like it !

I love both bacon and chocolate---but together? Hmmm, I don't know, I think I like my chocolate sweet, not with salt.

I'll try most things once.. Don't think it sounds that good though.

I prefer my bacon unadorned or dressed in mayo, lettuce, and tomato.
