But it’s expensive – over here in UK. at around six pounds for a 4 oz-bar. Amanda came up with a simple recipe to make it with BaconSalt and milk chocolate bars from ASDA (supermarket) – just melt the chocolate and add BaconSalt. (full details on http://crazy4flavour.blogspot.com/)

You can buy BaconSalt from http://www.baconsalt.com in USA, and it’s sold in UK and Europe by http://www.crazy4flavour.co.uk

Sera: You can buy chocolate honeycomb at many candy stores, including the Sweet Factory. You can also get it at Henry’s Supermarket. Those are the only places I have seen it at, and oh is the stuff to die for! It isn’t really honeycomb….that’s what intrigued me at first. It is actually a toffee type of mixture, with corn starch (I think) mixed in, and it puffs up to form a deliciously edible solid substance, with a texture similar to that of solidified styrofoam..oh how I love them!!! :)

While I love chocolate, bacon, smoked foods, sweet and salty foods mixed, I did not like the combination at all. I smelled the smoked flavor coming from the chocolate and was immediately repulsed. I find this combination as repulsive as pickles and peanut butter or sliced tomatoes on waffles. The chocolate honeycomb sounds delicious though.

If you can’t find chocolate honeycomb, try an international store or Cost Plus World Market and get ahold of either the Aussie “Violet Crumble,” or the British “Crunchie,” both being chocolate-enrobed bars of golden honeycomb. I LOVE these two bars and am constantly on the lookout for them!

I totally agree that the bacon and chocolate flavors stayed separate, with the bacon coming in afterward. And it’s salty and chocolatey and those are good. But somehow I just did not like this bar when I tried it. I like bacon, I like chocolate, what’s the problem? I suppose it could be the milk chocolate; the bacon flavor seemed to me to drown it out. Like the punch of bacon erased the fainter memory of the milk chocolate. I need to blog about this myself sometime….

I am a total freak for sweet/salty foods, but I thought that this bar was a bit too salty.

I’ve gotta ask– what’s your very favorite find from the specialty chocolate store? I’m not sure if I’m jealous or relieved that I don’t live down the street from a candy store!

Oooo, mind if I ask where you get the chocolate honeycomb? That sounds so good!

I agree with your thoughts on the chocolate needing to be darker. I tasted more bacon than chocolate when I tried this, it should be the other way around! :)

I was quite tempted to ask for this when Vosges shipped over a nice package of their chocolates for me, but decided to try a few of their more traditional bars and caramels instead. Sounds like I missed out. If you like this you might wanna try their Exotic Barcelona Bar, it also contained a great mix of sweet and savoury.
