Would You Eat Chocolate-Covered Bacon?

May 15, 2008

Recently, writer Dan Savage posted about chocolate-covered bacon. The picture comes from Marini's in Santa Cruz, CA, and I happen to think it looks sort of tasty. I also happen to be pretty bummed that it wasn't available when I lived in Santa Cruz. I bet the combination of salty and sweet is amazing together. Besides bacon makes everything taste better, right? I know I'd devour a slice, how about you, would you eat this?

That just sounds really gross. It is almost as bad as the chocolate covered chips.

I make this from scratch it's really easy you put the bacon on a baking sheet covered in parchment cook it in the over at 375 12-15 minutes for soft 15-20 for crisp bacon while the bacons cooking you stick chocolate in a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water and melt the chocolate. As soon as you pull the bacon out of the over cover it in chocolate so you capture the bacon grease it brings out the flavor and then stick it immediantly in the freezer to set once hard I brake it into smaller pieces because a little bit of this goes a long way...... I'm making this for a baby shower this weekend yummy :)

I don't like chocolate, but I would try it if they coated it in another sweet like white chocolate or butterscotch.

Heck yes. I slather my bacon with maple syrup so it couldn't be that different. I have a co-worker who lives in Santa Cruz I might ask her to pick me up some to try. :)

If they made a turkey bacon version I'd give it a try. But with good turkey bacon, not that fruit roll up type.

I wouldn't eat it, simply because pork is so bad for you...that and it sounds foul.

It sounds and looks delicious! I would most definitely try it.

Mmm, I love Marini's. Chocolate covered bacon on the other hand? I might try it once just to see what it would taste like. I like bacon but I'm not a huge fan of eating it cause of the fat content.

ABSOLUUUUUTELY not! I despise of bacon and chocolate so I'm guessing I wouldn't be a fan LOL.

My mom used to make bacon broiled with dark brown sugar, once in a great while. Absolutely yummers, so I figure this would be just as good! I would sooo try it, at least once :)

at least there was the option for 'i don't eat bacon'. being jewish and keeping kosher - i've never had it...and now that i'm a vegetarian, i've still never had it.

I wouldn't purchase it but if there were free samples I'd go for it. I love the bacon flavored Bertie Bott's beans, so this shouldn't be too far off the mark. It's like dipping your bacon in your pancake syrup ;)

Ewwww...no way. I am open to trying new things but I know I would NOT enjoy this. Also not a fan of pork. I'll take the chocolate alone please. I -love- chocolate.

I don't really like bacon, and I haven't eaten it in at least 5 years. If my stomach wouldn't absolutely reject such a food, maaaaaaaaybe I'd try it...just maybe. Cause I will admit, I am kind of curious about this flavor pairing...
