When I first laid eyes on the Mo's Bacon Bar by Vosges, Ltd. I was in shock.  My mind raced.  Who would put bacon in a chocolate bar?  Isn't that some kind of violation?  Serious penalties should follow.

Then another thought crept up, "I wonder what it would taste like?"  Did I really think that?  Could I try something that sounded so strange?  My resistance fell and I walked out of the store with a new-found creation.

Upon pealing open the wrapper I immediately noticed the smell.  It was smokey.  Hmm.  I took a bite.  Hmm, again.

Little chunks of smoked wood flavor had invaded my chocolate.  And, it's salty!  Yet all of that combined with the sweet milk chocolate for an interesting effect. 

The cacao content in this bar is 45% so it still has quite a nice chocolate impact for a milk chocolate.  As you may know by now I prefer dark chocolates over milk chocolates so having the higher cacao content in this milk bar gave it extra points in my book.

All-in-all the strangest thing I found about this bar is the non-melting, non-dissolving little bits of crunchy bacon left in my mouth at the end.  Maybe they're supposed to be a little reminder of what I had eaten!
