Bleck. I love chocolate and I love bacon, and I'm a huge fan of the sweet & salty fad, so I thought that these two sinfully delicious ingredients together would yield hot-love in Vosges Haute Chocolat's "Mo's Dark Bacon Bar." Oy, more like a hot mess! Truly, I'm grimacing as I write, trying to disintegrate the aftertaste of bad bacon with sweet cocoa.
While the ingredients look fine enough with uncured pork that's been seasoned with sea salt, white pepper, and celery juice (eh?), I almost think they should have just fried up some crispy strips of Oscar Mayer for a familiar and pleasing result. Ironically, the bacon in this bar tastes artificial or bad, like the shredded, unwanted bits that you find waiting around at a salad bar.
This bar's only saving grace is the fine quality chocolate used with its 62% cacao, but at $6.50 a pop at Whole Foods(!!!), the Dark Bacon Bar is a complete Pass!
Awww, I love chocolate and bacon too, But I dont wish to die an early death.

Richard and I and his family all fought over the two bars someone brought to our 4th of July BBQ!
