Bacon and Chocolate

This post is long overdue. In case you don't know work has taken over my life, so while I wait for files to print to pdf on my laptop I figured I'd sneak in a quick short post.

Given my long hours at work, including weekends, I like to have snacks around to keep me awake. My stash includes cereal, granola, see's almond royal's, miso soup, and my new favorite chocolate, Mo's Bacon Bar from the Vosges chocolate shop in soho. It's on Spring next to the longchamp store with the crazy stairs. If you've never been, this shop likes to create chocolates with exotic ingredients and combine unlikely ingredients.

Just like the name mentions, this chocolate has bacon in it. It combines milk chocolate with applewood smoked bacon and smoked salt. BLT's are one of my favorite foods for multiple reasons, so when I saw this bar, it only made sense I try it. I love how this bar combines salty and sweet flavors, in addtion to different textures. When you take a bite, the chocolate begins to melt, but chewy small bits of bacon remain, which I think is the best part.

After one bite, the taste becomes addicting. It's almost like eating pistachios or peanuts. I really think its the salt and since there's chocolate to balance it out there's no need for a drink.
