It has come to my attention that many state fairs this summer are offering chocolate covered bacon — on a stick, no less — as a walk-around treat.
I considered it my duty as a card-carrying Doper to impart this news to you.
Anyone tried it? I haven’t been to the state fair in years.
Wow–my daughter blew her idea! When she was 4 she loved bacon and she loved chocolate and she had this great idea to combine them. So she took the chocolate sauce and poured it on her bacon. She said she liked it but then again she never tried it again. A girl before her time I suppose.
Someone gave me some once and it was truly horrid. It tasted like it had been conceived in Satan’s anus.
Sounds disgusting. I love chocolate, and before i became vegetarian i loved bacon, but that combination sounds just too fucking awful for words.
There is a commercially produced bacon-chocolate baron the market. It combines a smoky and sweet flavor, which is not all that different from mole or from barbequed ribs with a sugar-based sauce.
It’s not near as bad as it sounds. Think bacon (or sausage) and syrup at breakfast. It’s just another sweet/savory combo. The bacon was crisp, so it must have been cooked on the stick. Deep-fried, I suspect.
Not something I’ll seek out, though.
Peace,
mangeorge, who’ll try anything.
Oh, mine was just as bad as it sounded. It was just…oh my god, I’m thinking about it. To the porcelain god!
So apparently it tastes like shit too.
I’m waiting for someone to say “It didn’t taste very good to me”. But that would require that the person had actually tasted chocolate covered bacon, huh!
And that wonderful person would have to refrain from hyperbole.
Ah, Diogenese, lend me your lamp.
I can’t speak to what you might get at a fair, but I have had it. It wasn’t awful but I was disappointed. Two great tastes separately but together…? More bacon, less chocolate rather than vice-versa would be better I think.
I’ll be going to the Indiana state fair tonight (first time in over a quarter century!), and have been told that chocolate-covered bacon’s available this year. I’m vegetarian, but if I can con my girlfriend or her friend into trying it, I’ll report back. (I plan on trying all of the previous veggie-friendly fried treats if I can find them tonight; fried Coke, fried Oreos, fried pizza, etc. I’ve missed out.)
All right. It only tasted like it had been concocted in the anus of one of Satan’s lesser minions. Are you happy?
I have had it (from a candy shop, not on a stick) and I thought it was pretty darn good.
Jeeze, what’s next. Garlic cookies? Chocolate covered oysters?
I can envision the ad campaign now as this new taste sensation takes off:
“You got bacon in my chocolate!”
“You got chocolate in my bacon!”
“Two great tastes that taste great together!”
Fin.
I make a chocolate barbecue sauce on occasion.
Depends. Did Beelzebub know these minions bibical sense? Anally, that is.
I had the bacon bar a few months back, ugh…gross! When I think bacon and chocolate, I think of a big thick piece of bacon covered in chocolate. Not baco bit sized pieces of bacon in a semi okay chocolate bar. Plus the bacon was rubbery, and…eww just thinking about it.
We even tried to get others in the family visiting at Christmas to help finish the bar by pawning off pieces. No luck.
we had some at a family event. the bacon was baked not fried to keep the shape and flatness, then dipped in the chocolate, placed flat on a cookie sheet to dry. almond slivers were sprinkled on it before it dried.
it wasn’t too bad, but not something i’d go out of my way to get, or eat if there was something else chocolate around.
I’ve had some from a fancy chocolatier, with good quality dark chocolate. It was pretty damn tasty. As opposed to the bacon chocolate bar I had, which was merely…interesting. All comes down to the quality of the materials and preparation I imagine.
