From the package -
"Breathe...engage your 5 senses, close your eyes and inhale deeply. Be in the present moment, notice the color of the chocolate, the glossy shine. Rub your thumb over the chocolate bar to release the aroma of of smoked applewood bacon flirting with deep milk chocolate. Snap off a tiny piece and place it in your mouth, let the lust of salt and sweet coat your tongue."
Wow. What a sensual description; Wish I'd written it. I feel like I need a cigarette.

My favorite chocolate is dark, but this combo with milk chocolate was supreme.
This is definitely going to be a birthday present for my boss this year. His b-day is in October so I have plenty of time to sample some of the other varieties before deciding which chocolate bar he gets.
I've tried several other flavors from Vosges, but haven't had the guts to try the bacon. So it's actually good, huh?
ReplyDeleteI know, I know...heavenly...But a little strange. When I first saw this combo a while back I really wondered about it...
ReplyDeleteOh my - bacon and chocolate - that's two of the major food groups covered in one bar. Lindt do a chilli chocolate that is divine!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's great, I promise. But, only if you like bacon. It's not a heavy taste of it, nor is it fatty...it's just a good combo.
ReplyDeleteI have to try some of the others now, particularly the one with chili pepper. I'll let you know.....
That would be what I would name a foodgasm.
ReplyDeleteWOW, very very (too?) daring ... but i will try it!
ReplyDeleteWHAT!!!! I absolutely, positively MUST try this!!!
