In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 17+ years, I'm still eating a different chocolate every day. Happily, even after 6,200+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.

Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Backyard BBQ and Bacon theme week. Today the "backyard" belonged to the local Burger King. I had a bun-free version of their Carolina BBQ Whopper (burger) on a plate (at right, buried under lettuce).
And now, let's cut directly to the chocolate. For a limited time only, Burger King was offering a bacon sundae.
That is correct. A bacon sundae. Soft serve vanilla ice cream in a clear plastic cup was festooned with ribbons of chocolate and caramel sauce; and the sundae was topped with pieces of real, hardwood smoked bacon. The saltiness of the bacon added crunch and helped balance the sweetness of this sundae.
Note: As you might expect, the bacon sundae was not a low-calorie treat. It was a 510 calorie sundae, and the sugar and sodium levels were somewhat elevated; but it was quite tasty.
