I love Vosages and their wonderful chocolates. I was hooked on the Barcelona bar for a long time, the Gogi Berry bar is good too, but I am totally sold on Mo's Bacon Bar. It is the perfect chocolate bar for me!!

I picked up one of these bars at Sam's liquors, figuring I'd give Vosges the benefit of the doubt, as I've adored both their Barcelona and Black Pearl bars.

The bacon is exceptionally strong and smokey, which would normally overwhelm most chocolate, but the smoked salt unifies the two. It's more of a savory bar than you'd expect, and extremely bold, but the richness of the chocolate holds up well.

The only real criticism I have is that the bacon bits are extremely hard and sharp, which makes the push-it-up-against-your-palate-let-it-melt experience more than just a bit perilous.

I cannot stand the snobbery of Vosges or her founder. Their chocolates are mass produced and their flavors are just plain ridiculous. If you grew up eating Hershey bars, then maybe this is "real" chocolate to you. I predict the likes of Vosges and a number of others will be gone by the way side in just a few years.
If AOL is going to write about chocolatiers maybe they should consider trying a company that not only makes great FRESH chocolate, but a company that has used AOL almost since it's inseption.

Hey everyone,

I heard about bacon chocolate when Nigella Lawson was on Rachael Rae's show....

No reason to pay top dollar plus shipping for Vosges. I cooked some delicious bacon, then covered it with Valronha, and even used Ghirardelli once. It's fantastic!
