Chocolate-covered Bacon? Really? Where?

As a HUGE fan of both bacon and Chocolate, I couldn’t help but post this story up that’s being reporting by the AP. Bacon makes the world go round’ and what better to help it do that than Chocolate?

The Associated Press
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Here are three little words that might give the staunchest snacker pause: Chocolate-covered bacon.

It sounds so wrong. But it tastes just right, says Joseph Marini 3rd, a fourth-generation candy maker selling the bonbons at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk seaside amusement park. “It’s not just for breakfast any more,” he says with a grin.

And this isn’t just a wacky West Coast thing. This year, Famous Dave’s at the Minnesota State Fair is rolling out Pig Lickers - dark chocolate-covered bacon pieces sprinkled with sea salt.

“It was kind of a joke to begin with,” Marini says. “We brought it down to the boardwalk and put it in a case just to see if people would react, and they reacted.”
