Mo's Bacon Bar by Vosges: The Latest Idea in Chocolate Decadence {Fragrant Recipe}
As far as we are concerned, we are still feeling the atmosphere of the holiday season and bent on prolonging it! Decadently rich food is one of the signs that this time of the year rings a time for indulgence.
Vosges is a chocolate brand that proposes a range of chocolate bars with quirky adventurous taste associations. They do not hesitate to mix savory and sweet for example or to add red chili (in the spirit of a molé), Wasabi, or black olives to their concoctions. Their latest creation is Mo's Bacon Bar, in their collection Exotic Chocolate Bars , and as one can see, it is based on the idea that dressed-down bacon has its place of honor in a fancy niche chocolate bar......
The taste is slightly salty and smoky (Applewood smoked bacon, Alder smoked salt) and the bacon is most definitely present. We think that the taste is fine, rather interesting, but that the texture is a little bit "rough" in the end as the hardened pieces of fried bacon remain in your mouth after the chocolate (41 % milk chocolate) has melted away. But it is worth trying at least once, although your complexion will not thank you for it! Next, you can probably expect dried shrimp or fish in your irreverent Vosges bar.
They offer the possibility of offering coffrets of chocolate bars, which make great gifts to offer to the curious gourmets.
A bar retails for $7. Some of them can be found at Whole Foods, but the whole range is available on their website.
