grilled chocolate & bacon {sandwich}

I can’t even describe to you how sinfully good this is.  Chocolate.  Bacon.  Sourdough.  Grilled (with butter).  Seriously.  It is not diet food.  It is not healthy.  But my goodness it is tasty.

On the chocolate note, I have been chipping away at my 70% cocoa chef’s blend from Soma Chocolate…my prized chocolate possession from a recent trip to Toronto.  (That stuff is no joke.) I used it in Sugar Hero’s Lick-the-Knife-Clean Chocolate Spread.

Yes, she calls it “Lick-the-Knife-Clean” so forget all of the rules growing up about not licking knifes.  You will definitely lick the knife that spreads this goodness on.

Slap on some salty, crispy bacon to your sammich, grill as you would your most famous grilled cheese, and let the good times roll.

I am actually drooling right now.

Enjoy,

got bacon?

I do.  And it’s covered in chocolate.  And it would make a fabulous man-gift (say, father’s day???).

My husband and I jumped on the chocolate bacon band-wagon a couple of years ago after this delightful treat.

If you don’t know, you should.  I am a tremendous fan of Vosges Haut-Chocolat.  My head almost exploded when we went into the store at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas.  Almost exploded.  The stuff is amazing.  Don’t even get me started on the truffles there.

Ok, I need a moment to compose myself.

Ok, I’m back.

A couple of suggestions for dipping your bacon in chocolate.  Thick-cut bacon.  Turn often in the pan so it is flat.  Use a good quality chocolate…great quality.  Melt in a mug.  Use a spatula to scrape off some of the chocolate before you set it out to cool/harden…otherwise your chocolate will be so thick it will overpower your bacon (that statement is hilarious).  And sprinkle your salt while the chocolate is still warm so the salt will stick.

Chocolate.  Bacon.  Yes, please.
