I guess if you need dessert to go with your chicken fried bacon, there’s nothing better than [Chocolate Covered Bacon](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26092641). I’ve got the Bacon Salt… Chicken Fried Bacon is on the list when I’m in that part of Texas. Should I go all the way? ---

No, it’s just eerily similar to [this one.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=478749&highlight=chocolate+bacon) For a minute, I thought I’d been vaulted back to last Friday. I mean, it was a nice weekend and all, but that still woulda been a drag. ---

My girlfriend got me one of [these](http://www.chocolateobsession.com/2007/06/review_vosges_bacon_bar.htm) a little while ago. I haven’t eaten it yet. I’m a little afraid of it. Perhaps tonight. ---

Homer thought of it first. Well the Simpson God did after Homer prayed for a tasty treat and a bacon truck crashed into a chocolate truck. ---

[/QUOTE] I wasn’t impressed - it could have been better than it was - though some of the other Vosges chocolate bars are dietary staples around here (the red fire bar in particular - and they had a limited edition that had salt in it, that was SOOOOO good.) ---

[QUOTE=Sattua] Dood. Haven’t I seen this thread before? [/QUOTE] Grmph. Sorry about that. I called myself checking to see if anyone had already done it. I just didn’t go back far enough. I do like my title better though. 😛 Oh well. Carry on. Nothing to see here. ---

An ice cream place called Full Tilt (they also have pinball) just south of Seattle has a flavor they call Memphis King. Peanut butter and banana ice cream with pieces of chocolate-covered bacon. ---

What if they were to combine peanut butter bacon and chocolate? Chocolae is good, but chocolate and peanut butter is heaven. Now if you throw a strip of bacon in there, that’s like heaven and hell all mixed up into one afterlife special. ---

I’m sorry, I dislike bacon. I won’t buy bacon flavored anything. ---

I thought of starting this thread last week. I saw Mo’s Bacon Chocolate in a store, and one employee swore up and down that it was orgasmically good. They also sold wasabi, red pepper, curry, and a few other flavors. [Link](http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars). My opinion upon tasting them? Meh, at best. ---

Bah, forget chocolate covered bacon. How about [_Chicken Fried Bacon_](http://www.megnut.com/2006/12/chicken-fried-bacon-is-all-you-need-to-know)!
