We've been ignoring this fad, because frankly it doesn't sound that appealing to us. We have to try stuff before we tell you about it, after all. We have to test those recipes and check out the chocolate we offer and look at the raw data for the studies.
We have not been able to persuade ourselves to try chocolate bacon.
You can buy bacon-flavored chocolate, in candy bars, made by everyone from Bella Mia to the haute chocolate Vosges. But you can also make your own chocolate-dipped bacon. Instructables has complete step-by-step instructions for homemade chocolate bacon. The authors tried a variety of chocolates and types of bacon and other pork products and reported fully and, it seems to me, fairly on their results.
We feel that we are off the hook. If you decide to make chocolate bacon, please tell us how it turns out. Shudder.
