Chocolate lovers!! It's a hit in the UK - will it be one in the US??

Wow, really? Bacon made you sick? I love really good salty bacon. It's weird that people were talking about this just recently. These bars can be found in the Whole Foods groceries - but at $8/per, they'll never see the light of day in my house.

Yeah, I'm allergic to everything, and that includes all those additives in bacon, all the nitrates and stuff. but at that price you aren't going to find me buying it either!

Holy moly, Elic! What DO you eat??? My mother's allergic to green beans and tea, but still can consume them if she's willing to deal with the hayfever-like reaction. I can't imagine not being able to eat something at all! I knew about the corn, though.

I know what you mean. Godiva is way overpriced for something that, to me, doesn't taste any different than Cadbury!! And, I do like Cadbury. I also like Lindt, which is affordable, but Godiva and Ghiradelli - not worth it to me at all.

I have no doubt that many a chocolate loving dog would love this even more (if only chocolate weren't poison to them)! The bacon would have to be very crispy, but I suspect that it would soften in the hot chocolate before it sets. So, maybe it wouldn't be quite as good as I would hope.

If you don't mind paying $8/bar, it is apparently being sold in Whole Foods groceries. I don't know if they're nationwide or not.

I do so agree! But, hey - green eggs and ham vs. chocolate bacon and eggs. For me, that's a hard call!!

Yeah, silly me - I saw that AFTER I posted this. They do sell these bars in Whole Foods, which are full sized grocery stores that sell only organic foods. Quite pricey.

I would definitely be sick to my stomach if I did that. Sweet stuff just doesn't sit well anymore, especially chocolate. But, it's really no worse than two cups of hot chocolate a day and I know people who do that. I can't do that either. But, I do like chocolate bars with raisins and nuts - I especially like them frozen. I can enjoy frozen chocolate.

If the bacon stayed crispy, I think it would be pretty good. But, I have learned that Whole Foods is selling it if you can handle the price. $8/bar. I'll dip my own first!!

No, that doesn't sound that good. The caramel already has a salty flavor - a covering of sea salt, for me, would be overkill! And, I don't like dark chocolate. I barely like milk chocolate.

That would make it difficult, true. I think eating bacon right after eating chocolate might work for me.

Well, I did use a bit of literary license there, but then I don't know what Selfridges is, either. Apparently, this chocolate bar IS sold over here in our Whole Foods grocery stores. I've been in their parking lots, but never in their stores. Too pricey for my budget, which explains why these babies are $8/bar here!! (Approximately 4 GBP). I absolutely LOVE good salty bacon, but I'm not as much of a fan of chocolate, which is why this combination piqued my interest. I thought it might make plain chocolate palatable, but who's to say. I'll never know because I won't even pay $2 for a chocolate bar, let alone $8!!!

If you ever get a chance, try chocolate covered popcorn! The white is divine, but the milk chocolate is pretty good, too. Salty popcorn under chocolate. I prefer white, though. Really salty pretzels under white chocolate are very nice. I like the Take 5 bars, too. Nice combination of textures and tastes. I just can't eat things like that all the time (not supposed to at all, but I still do once in a while).

I'm of split mind on "do I or don't I" as well. And, I just happen upon these stories. Sometimes I'm looking for something else, sometimes they show up in a newsletter, once in a while I go looking just to see what's out there. Lately, most of them have come from my newsletters I get from our local news channel. If the story isn't well-told there, I'll go looking for better links.

I don't know where the store is they mentioned - apparently it's being sold here in the US in some organic grocery chain. I don't shop there anyway, so that won't be happening for me any time soon.

Yeah - that price tag was pretty definitive with me, too. I think it'll just be ala carte for me.

I totally understand, Twoey68! Kind of like putting gravy on applesauce, huh?

There ya go! Be sure to share when you do!!

You're probably right there. But I'd also try that as a free sample. Can't be much worse than lavender flavoured cheese.

Yeah it can! LOL But, still - lavendar flavored cheese???? EWWW I like my cheese milky, thanks!! Or sharp as in cheddar. Flavored like flowers doesn't fit in there anywhere!!

Definitely can't go wrong with a free sample, I agree! But, this has GOT to taste better than jalapeno ice cream, don't you think?

Chocolate with chili? I can see that - chocolate is very prevalent in Native American (mostly in Central and South America) cooking. I've made mole with chocolate in it along with peanut butter and tomato sauce, among other ingredients. Pretty tasty!

I've heard of Marmite and can't understand why Heinz doesn't sell their beans here (have you tried Campbell's pork and beans?), but we do have Cadbury; although not in quite as many varieties as in the UK. Caramello bars are YUMMY! In the meantime, try a Take5 bar. It's loaded with contradictions and tastes pretty good, too.
