Bacon + Chocolate?

I have always enjoyed this dark chocolate but haven't had it in a long time until recently,  a friend gave me a bar of Mo's Dark Bar by Vosges. See previous link on what this Chocolatier, Katrina is all about:

This Dark Bar is 62% dark chocolate with hickory smoked uncured bacon with smoked salt.  This is a dark chocolate delight and if you like bacon, you are in for a treat. In my opinion, this is the best chocolate bacon ever. The bitterness of real dark quality chocolate with the smoked bacon is a marriage made in heaven. If that's not enough, when you bite into the chocolate, you chew on bits of salt to offset the bitterness of the chocolate.



I quote you Katrina's instructions for eating this chocolate:  "Breath.... 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 aromas of hickory smoked uncured bacon flirting with dark chocolate. Snap off just a tine piece and place it in your mouth, let the lust of salt and sweet coat your tongue."


With that in mind, how can you resist not going to store to try some now.  I buy mine at World Market (Cost Plus). Mind you, they are not cheap. They are about $7.00 but well worth it.
