There's a candy store in Austin that sells this...came really close to trying it, but the GF was so aghast at the idea of choco-covered bacon that I resigned to return on my own sometime and try it. What's not to love? Chocolate = good. Bacon = GOOD!

Actually went back to Big Top and tried a slice this weekend. Not bad, but I was mistaken in that it was milk, not dark, chocolate, sprinkled with just a little sea salt to balance out the sweetness. Also, it was clear that the bacon itself wasn't anything special, tasting rather like the average store-brand bacon and nothing sourced with care. The flavors were intriguing enough to make me want to try using some of my Coursey's smoked bacon and a really good dark chocolate, like Valhrona or something, as an experiment.

I am a Scharffen Berger man myself but Valrhona bacon sounds good to me. Standing by for your experimental report.

Had a toasted sesame bagel for breakfast with a light spread of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and two slices of thick, crispy bacon.
