Chocolate Covered What?
Okay, I adore bacon. If I could make sexay times with bacon, I would. I've tried, but it always seems to break before getting all the way in. I also love chocolate. If I could have a chocolate transfusion, I would. I just don't know how I feel about the two things together.
A candy shop in Santa Cruz called Marini's is selling chocolate covered bacon. I don't know whether to lick my chops or bust a chunk in a plastic bag.
I'm willing to give it a bite. Upon further googling, I found a recipe for this possibly delicious treat. I know what I'm doing this weekend. Frying, eating and barfing! My three favorite things.
Cut to Brit Brit who is not impressed, "Pff'! I've been eatin' that stuff fo' years. Mah mama je'e made it fo' Sunday breakfist. We had it wif possum an' eggs an' sanka cake!"

Sorry. I saw some pretty horrible things done to animals for the sake of their meat yrs. ago, and just don't see the necessity of it.

i made bacon chocolate chip cookies w/ a maple butter icing for the superbowl this year. they were not only delicious but the hit of the party! people were taking them home!
using chocolate in sauces is not a trend nor is it gross. a dark mole sauce traditionally uses chocolate.
and the name of the gourmet chocolate bars that uses bacon, or curry, or various other spices is called vosges.

The sick part of this entire thing is the bacon. How anyone can eat animals is beyond me.

let's not turn this thread into an argument between Vegetarians and Carnivores. I love meat. I just do.

If God didn't want me to eat pigs, he wouldn't have made them out of bacon and pork chops. He would've made them out of Tofu and Brussels Sprouts.
There IS no god.

Try getting the entire animal next time and cutting it in pieces and freezing those pieces until you are ready to cook them.
I don't think you'll feel the same about bacon if Wilbur is staring right at you when you are about to put him in the skillet.

Oh, I hope no one thought I was fat bashing. I'm just saying that's seems terribly unhealthy for an EMT. It just don't seem right.
And I remembered that on a recent trip to Portland at Voodoo Donuts they have a bacon maple bar or something.

I don't think the EMT's would be able to practice if they werent' able to do their job well.
I see your point in that a person dishing out medical advice/services would be more believable and respected if they were thin and healthy looking.
But if I were dying I wouldn't care what the person looked like, as long as they could save my life.

I tried to make the Sweet Potato Queen's etouffe, or jambalaya or something like that, and it turned out SOOO BAD! I don't even think the recipes are real! It called for sooo much liquid and I stupidly followed the recipe against my better judgement - it was a gross soupy mess.
Love the books, though.

MK, it's really not that weird! I had chorizo covered in dark chocolate at a tapas restaurant in Chelsea. I was totally skeptical cuz it sounds hella weird, but it was really delicious. Don't know how good the homemade variety will be, but give it a try this weekend if you get the time!
I love bacon. Chocolate, notsomuch. But because I like Pig Candy, I just might be willing to give this a try.
Pig Candy
---------
Description:
This is from "The Sweet Potato Queen's Big Ass Cookbook and Financial Planner" by Jill Conner Brown.
Ingredients:
bacon
brown sugar
Directions:
Put a bunch of brown sugar on a plate.
Coat each piece of bacon, both sides.
Place coated bacon on a rack on a cookie sheet & bake in the oven at 350 until done.
Preparation Time:
About 45 minutes, depending on how crisp you want it.
An entire piece of bacon, I am not thinking would be good- but Vosges chocolates (I think they are nationwide- but I am here in Chicago) makes a bacon bit bar and it is actually delicious. I think you might be able to get them online. They also have one with yellow curry in it- and you think it would be nasty- but it is pretty good too. It is haute chocolate to mix things like that now.

Try it before you hate!

Which brings us to mole:
Mole is often described as a ‘chocolate sauce, but not really.’ Mole is actually a spicy Mexican sauce, a national culinary treasure, commonly served with poultry.
Mole (mO-lay) is a combination of onions, dried chiles, garlic, many different spices, a variety of ground seeds and nuts—and, incidentally—Mexican unsweetened chocolate.
THIS SHIT IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

I'm not fat bashing, I'm saying that these EMTs are clinically obese and can barely breathe, and yet they are expected by their jobs to be fast acting. They also seemed terribly dim witted. Would you want two people who can barely breathe while standing in line to order 12 hot dogs to be the ones you depend on for your life? Not me.
If they weren't EMTs I could give a shit if they ate 30 hot dogs a day and weighed 500 pounds.

There's a chocolate company (Vosges) that puts out a bacon candy bar regularly - it's regularly sold out at the store we buy from. It's actually very good - sweet and salty. I don't eat an entire bar, it would be too much (but all of the candy bars are like that from this company - a nice taste is just enough!).

Don't judge- it's actually very good!

I am going to Santa Cruz this weekend. (actually, it's my home town and I have friends who worked at marini's) I guess what I am eating this weekend!
OMG!! The EMTs?! That is terribly frightening. Shouldn't one be nimble and healthy to perform such an important job? I certainly hope you are never in a situation to need any EMT, but especially if that's how they roll (no pun intended).

haha I live a couple of blocks from the downtown Marini's in Santa Cruz...I almost spit out my coffee when I realized MK had a post on a place here!
but, um chocolate covered bacon? wtf?
Whoever eats this deserves for very bad things to happen to them. It reminds me of seeing the degrading, morbidly obese slobs who wallow in the deep fried Oreos/Snickers/sticks o' butter at carnivals. They so deserve the miserable decline they have coming to them.

Applejones -
I live in West Virginia. One security gaurd at the mall will eat two breakfast sandwiches at like 8AM, and then come back about four times for a chili dog before lunch. Then he will eat a full lunch.
THE MOST DISTURBING THING - two EMT workers, yes, people who you depend on to save your life in an emergency situation, came in one morning. Both looked to be over 300 pounds and could barely breathe. They both got the 12 for $12 hot dog deal for lunch. I pray to god that if I ever am in a life-threatening situation, I don't get a pair of 300 pounders huffing and puffing their way over to me. I just don't get how people like that are allowed to work in the health care industry where they are relied upon to save lives.

YEAH CHOCOLATE BACON BITS!LOL and choclate sausage, ham, hamburgers. :D :O
I've got news for you... Brit Brit has NEVER tasted this before.
She probably went off in search of Marini's...
and ended up in Costa Rica, thinking it was on the way to Santa Cruz.
I can hear the NeverLost on her ATV now:
"Please proceed to the highlighted route."
Unfortunately, she can't see the map because her bag of Cheetos is in the way.
Chocolate covered pig. Yuck! Do they make chocolate covered cheetos? Eww. I do love chocolate. But bacon??? Pass.
Sensimina- that is truly disturbing. I just couldn't handle it- but then again I hail from a town of fatties (San Antonio) and when I went back after living in the NW for a bit I was startled at how much food folks shoved down their gullets early in the morning. My man had never seen a breakfast taco before, let alone someone eat 6 before their first break. And then wash that mess down with either coke or Big Red. I thought I was gonna get diabetes just watching some of those fools.
