But no. Just no. No thank you. Thanks anyway. No, really. Thanks for the offer. No, no, I couldn’t. I prefer to keep my chocolate separate from my pork products.
No, I don’t want to try the new porchocolate milkshake. But thank you for the offer.
I actually adore chocolate covered bacon – had it (and many other bacony treats) at my last birthday, which was a bacon-themed potluck. We even had bacon bourbon and bacon bloody marys and dirty bacontinis. That said, the CCB didn’t keep very well — even the next day it was kind of limp and nasty. So I can’t imagine it would ship well.
Anyway, the VIAR rocks the house. Or the hut. Whatev.
Chocolate covered bacon is not as good as one might think. I speak from experience. We tried this at a Christmas Party and it was a flop, funny, but a flop.
Chocolate-covered bacon, huh? Not sure I’d care for that. But, there is a little place called Elizabeth’s in New Orleans that serves praline bacon that’s worth every clogged artery. But, I’d only mail order it when pigs fly. Bah-dum-bah!
I’ve done this for a hangover breakfast after a party before and it’s actually pretty good. I wouldn’t pay to have it shipped because it’s pretty gross after 3 hours of sitting around, but it’s not that bad.
And one last thing.. I bought my vegan friend “bacon salt” since he’s vegan and so is the salt (as well as kosher!).. Well, he wasn’t vegan very long after that.
I have an oddly large number of bacon related stories…
Just wondering how these are shipped. Slapped in an envelope? Packed in dry ice? Vacuum sealed? I’m sure you’d get a whopping case of the trots in any event.
Forget that you like chocolate and that you like bacon, or even that chocolate-covered bacon is “good.” Who the f*ck would buy meat on Etsy????? MEAT PEOPLE!! It’s meat! On Etsy! God dammit I can’t even contain myself, this is just horrifying.
Chocolate bacon aside, I agree with those of you who are appalled at the thought of food items on Etsy. I just can imagine the kitchens or even worse, bathrooms, that these “treats” are whipped up in. Who knows if the dog licked them, someone licked them, they fell on the floor, they were stored on the floor, they have been there for a month, etc. Baked goods? Candy? Ack, no. Horrifying.
That Vosages bar is a thing of yummy, yummy beauty. However, that was little bits of bacon in lots of chocolate. This seems a little too porky for my taste.

NUTRITION FACTS per slice: calories 638 (440 from fat), cholesterol 53 mg, sodium 632 mg, potassium 347 mg, carbohydrate 37.7 g, protein 11.3 g
Chocolate-covered bacon is an American dish that consists of bacon cooked with a coating of either milk chocolate or dark chocolate. It can be topped with sea salt, crumbled pistachio or almond bits.
References on the internet date back at least to 2005.
Okay, let’s set aside the issue of questionable sanitary procedures AND the fact that this sounds revolting (yes, I have heard of this “delicacy” for awhile not-NOT drinking the KoolAid), here’s my deal: IF I wanted to try this, how the heck difficult would it be to melt a couple of chocolate chips in a custard cup, dip the end of a slice of cooked bacon in it, cool, and WAH LAH! Even I could, but would not, do this.
Oh #35 artizlife, having worked in a number of restaurant kitchens….hate to tell you but often there are gross acts of fuckery going on, none too whimsical, but at least the health dept. inspects on occasion…
C’mon you guys. Who knows more about schokolade und schweinfleisch than der Deutsch? I would totally try it if it weren’t for the fact that suicide by Etsy is not a dignified death.
True so true Moons in Leo #51,and the diabetes rate is exploding for the same reasons, but dark chocolate is full of good things for the bod.

#54 littykidder : but fake bacon can’t be any better for people with all of the preservatives, dyes and so on. Everything in moderation and nothing’s bad for you.
my daughter came home from a morning breakfast birthday pajama party (6, so kids too kids too little for slumber parties still, kind of a swell idea) and said she had gotten whipped cream from her waffles on bacon and it was good. I said eew. Tried it with her a few weeks later.
Actually, pretty damn good. In smallll doses. That said, I’d try this AT HOME.
i’m not bothered by the choco-bacon thing. I’ve heard it’s good actually. BUT I’ve always been bothered about buying food from Etsy! Is that the reason this is on here?
I’ve seen chocolate covered bacon at a deli in Portland, Maine. I was not at all tempted to try it, but apparently it’s having a bit of a fad.
I don’t really want bacon mailed to me, regardless of what it is covered with.
Om nom nom nom. Chocolate covered bacon is delicious. I keep meaning to make some (not to sell, I plan to eat them all) but my scale keeps telling me it’s a bad idea.
I tried chocolate covered bacon at the Minnesota State Fair last year. I must say that I thought it could have been done better. For one, it was cold from being refrigerated (nothing like cold bacon grease). I think it would be better with freshly made (hot) bacon that is dipped in chocolate when you order. Also, the bacon was pretty thin. Thicker-cut bacon would have been better. And crispiness could not have hurt, either.
Also, aren’t there LAWS about selling food (especially across state lines)? Like, don’t you have to be registered with the FDA or something? Or am I completely naive?
#79 I don’t believe any registration with the FDA is required, you just have to be following their rules and your state’s laws for food production (which vary, some require an inspected commercial kitchen, some don’t).
Food items may be listed on Etsy in the Plants and Edibles Category, provided that the food items comply with all of Etsy’s policies for handmade items.

Laws and regulations for the preparation, sale and shipping of food items vary greatly by location. ”
Ironically, I just discovered something awesome last night. Potato chips and nutella. And I didn’t have to travel through time and climb a wall to get it!
Peanut butter on bacon: yum!
Syrup on bacon: ohhh nom nom!
Chocolate on bacon: Hm. Why not? Sounds good.
Chocolate bacon through the mail: Only if it comes with sausage, eggs over easy and a steaming hot cup of coffee.
The View it in a Room was over the top. #56IscreamUscream: on the menu – Generalisimo Franco American spaghetti dinner, Caesar Chavez salad and a bottle of Pinochet Noir.
I was fine … just fine. Smirking a bit but well under control. Until I saw that chocolate covered bacon “in a room”. That did me in. Now the cat’s cowering under the bed and the neighbor is banging on my wall ….. Bwahaaaahaaahaaahaaa ….
Looks like someone took a too hot iron to some syntetic (how the hell you spell that anyways ?) cloth and well… it melted… Doesn’t look good and sure as heck doesn’t feel good. I should know, I ripped a seam open on a jacket just like that yesterday…
Similar to CrepyLittleGirl’s potato chips and Nutella, I found out years ago, by -errr- accident that chocolate bar and corn chips taste like Cheddar cheese if eaten together. The experience was like the first time you find out that red and green light together appear yellow.
I think chocolate dipped bacon is good! I’ve eaten it before. The kind I had was with both milk chocolate and dark. The bacon was thick lean bacon. The fat was trimmed from the ends.

My boyfriend’s coworker made this for him, and he made some for me… and y’all are knocking something SERIOUSLY wonderful. The first time I had chocolate covered bacon it was like the universe was happening in my mouth. There’s no cynicism or sarcasm here… really, it’s that damn good.

Or, for $10 you could buy a whole package of bacon and a bar of Hershey’s dark chocolate.

I heard this news story on my way home from work earlier this week:

My boyfriend’s coworker made this for him, and he made some for me… and y’all are knocking something SERIOUSLY wonderful. The first time I had chocolate covered bacon it was like the universe was happening in my mouth. There’s no cynicism or sarcasm here… really, it’s that damn good.
how can you go wrong with bacon anyways?
