The scariest food ever

I noticed it for sale in our local boutique grocer. I was looking at the various fancy international chocolates when my eyes fell upon this American abomination -- baconised chocolate.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This product really exists! I couldn't believe it either so I checked the ingredients on the back; it's not bacon-flavoured bits, it's chunks of real bacon in there!

Here's the rationale:

I began experimenting with bacon + chocolate at the tender age of 6, while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in Aunt Jemima syrup, as children often do. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of sizzlin' bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. And then, the magic—just a bite of the bacon was too salty and I yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate and syrup, so I combined the two. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point; for on that plate something magical happened, the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it—chocolate.

From there, it was just a matter of time…and what began as a love of salt and sweet quickly unraveled into an obsession. No sooner could I wait to unveil the royal coupling in solid bar form, a deep milk chocolate with bits and pieces of applewood smoked bacon and just a sprinkling of Alder salt. Really, what doesn't taste better with bacon?

It never occurred to me before that bacon might fall into Dr Nick's chocotastic food group.
