So tonight me and my roommates had a chocolate fountain extravaganza. There were so many wonderful treats. Peanut butter balls with coconut, oreos, fruit, brownies, cinnamon bears, pretzel sticks, homemade marshmallows (who ever knew you could actually make your own marshmallows), and my favorite item: bacon.
I had never tried chocolate covered bacon before and I was definitely intrigued. After my first bite I wasn't too impressed. I mean it tasted like bacon and chocolate...what was so special? But then after gorging myself with the rest of the sweets...I was craving something salty. Well sure enough I went for the bacon and chocolate combination for a second try. I like bacon. I like chocolate. The combination?...I surprisingly enjoyed it.
And after observing others at the chocolate fountain, I noticed that the bacon was the first thing that people chose...and in the end, the bacon was the first item on the table to disappear. Apparently I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it.
I love the salty-sweet combo. There is this chocolate shop by our house that has chocolate covered caramels with sea salt sprinkled on top, and they are sooo good. We have never tried the bacon/chocolate combo before though, we will have to now!

ReplyDeleteI don't know about bacon and chocolate, but I think I would definitely try it.
