Today was Day #8 of Chocolate and Bacon Theme Week.

Doth not the name "Piggy Caramel" speak for itself? Well, I'll spell it out anyway. These were bacon caramels covered in dark chocolate; and while I normally like pairing bacon with a deep milk chocolate, these darker versions were just fine, with small flecks of bacon embedded in a caramel center.

Today was Day #6 of Chocolate and Bacon Theme Week.

This Sizzling Bacon Bar -- made with milk chocolate, bacon, popping candy and sea salt -- from Christopher Michael (from Newport Beach, CA) was great. Nicely balanced bacon, milk chocolate and salt flavors. There was no sign of the popping candy -- that was to supply the "sizzling" part, but I didn't miss it that much.
