Worst. Blogger. Ever. That must be what I am. Haven't blogged in over a year! Can you (the 3 of you out there that read this) ever forgive me? Let's move on to the candy, shall we?

A long while back I got the original Mo's Bacon Bar, which is the smaller one in the photo above. More recently I got the Dark Bacon Bar and so when I sat down to blog, I decided to do both of them at the same time (that's what she said). Sadly, upon opening, the original bacon bar had bloomed :( That's what I get for waiting so long.

The Dark Bacon Bar is simply gorgeous, a nice sheen and 12 neatly scored squares with embossed images on them (the Vosges logo and what looks to be a girl holding a bag, weird). It smells like smokey chocolate but there was no meaty smell which I think is a good thing because as delicious as bacon is, a chocolate bar should not smell like meat (even if it has meat in it, does that make sense?). It's 62% cacao so it was a nice bitter chocolate with just enough sweet to get it on with the saltiness of the Alder wood smoked salt and the baconyness of the Applewood smoked bacon to result in a ménage à trois in my mouth. Oh yeah, I said it!



The bacon was not overpowering at all, none of the flavor elements were, they truly all worked together in this fantastic bar. It was obvious that the bacon pieces were real pork bits and not just imitation pork product thrown in, it tasted like real bacon not like something disguised to taste like some approximation of bacon.

You should definitely pick up a bar if you should cross its path.

This item requires no introduction.

*Note: I'm still toying with the photography for this site, pardon the non-uniform look of the pictures.

For my birthday, I received this fabulous product (thanks to my awesome brother and his wife) and needless to say, it cried out to be reviewed.

I love bacon. Bacon rules. I dare you to come up with something that isn't made imminently better by bacon. Sadly this bacon does not taste like bacon but that's ok. It still looks like bacon, a helluva lot like it and just looking at it makes me happy.

So according to the oh so helpful handling instructions on the box, I wasn't supposed to fry this stuff up. Which was disappointing because the best part about eating bacon is the wonderful crackling sounds that go along with cooking it. I don't have a microwave either, so at least I couldn't be tempted to put it in there.

Out of the box, this stuff really does look like the real deal. Pretty uncanny. It's even sticky and greasy, like real bacon! The box even had a bacon viewing window, like real bacon!




It's strawberry flavored and that was immediately obvious once it was unwrapped. The smell was very strong, nearly overwhelming. A nice smell though, like real strawberries.

The gummy was pretty firm, but not hard and had a nice chew to it. My jaws were not taxed to the breaking point with these. The strawberry flavor was clean and not super artificial tasting.
Very well done.

The picture at the right was taken after I took a bite out of it and you can barely seem my teeth marks. The gummy reformed and melded back together after the bite.
