Went to the Florida State Fair in Tampa and searched for this bacon. Found it after a couple of hours of wandering. It was O.K. but would have been much better with a higher quality of chocolate.

I think the dude just melted hershy kisses (frigging carnies!).

Chocolate Covered Bacon with Almonds 2008, Michael Symon, All rights reserved. Dinner Impossible-Boardwalk Episode.

Ingredients

1 pound thickly sliced slab bacon

1/2 pound milk chocolate

1/4 pound toasted almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place bacon on a sheet tray and cook until crisp, about 25 minutes. Melt chocolate in double boiler over low heat. Dip crisp bacon in chocolate and place back on sheet tray.

Sprinkle with almonds and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

Yuck!

I know I am ugly Robert, but am I "yuck" ugly... LoL

Seriously now, if I was served chocolate bacon the way you got from the State Fair, I would be pissed also. I actually made the recipe from The Foodnetwork, and it was pretty darn good. Very interesting.

That guy has no imagination.

Try sprinkles on a lard pop instead- faster artery clogging factor.

FXDWG, yea I expected it to be dipped in a hardened chocolate (like a dipped banana). Wasn't too impressed. But I will try it in fondue (in moderation).

Bloody - I run 9 - 12 miles(ish) a week, and work out pretty regularly just so I can indulge in these nice unhealthy treats once in a while.

I actually used to eat a ramen dish in Japan that had lard in it, it was very tasty. Then my wife pointed out to me that it had lard in it (thats what the little white drops that were in it were). I was kind of disgusted so I never had it in that style again.

To say that you run 9-12 miles & can indulge in these tasty yet harmful treats is a misnomer of sorts, gringo.

Exercise certainly lowers bad cholesterol while it raise the good but if your liver's not working 100% or if your B-12 is low, your homocystene is raised which in turn allows for the inflamation in your veins which promotes calcification. This will happen regardless of how much you exercise, Jack Gringo Lalane.

Read up on how many "kids" in the military are walking heart attacks these days.

Btw, I just looked at your photo again.

Did you ever direct porn?

(j/k- no need for a scrap)

^^ that is funny. Never had the mini stache before (20 years of facial hair oppression).

I actualy used (was assigned) a call sign of "Porno" for some clandestine activities in 1999 (seriously). I made the mistake of saying "all you need to be in porno's is triceps and a tight ass" and the nickname was born (for a while).

Gringo

like the stache...not so much the food.

but that lard ramen was sooooooo good!

peanutbutter on chocolate : fantastic

chocolate on a bannana : pretty good

chocolate covered cookie and cakes : works for me !

but to put chocolate on meat.......just isn't right!

do you like your chocolate on your steak or on the side?

wanna dip your eggs too?

make it an all round breakfast!

just isn't right.

...stoner

If I were I'd love this !!

maybe that's what's missing here,

I don't understand pineapple on pizza (yeah, yeah, I know it's Hawaiian)

Try peanut butter on a taco, orange slices on a hamburger, or peaches on a hotdog. These sound equally appealing.
