Don't judge me.  It's a better choice than the bottle of scotch I received as a present.... :)

Happy Birthday, Steve! You just go ahead and eat whatever you like. You have my permission :)

I'm not judging... just sorta confused... if I read that correctly... is it candied bacon?
Jay

Happy Birthday! I've ordered chocolate from them before and always wondered how that bar tastes....so, how is it? What are you and the Beloved doing to celebrate (beside eat chocolate - a good choice by the way)?
erin*carly
noeeesssss! :)

happy birthday, friend. i hope you have a fantastic one!
Kelly
I kind of want to try that but I'm afraid it's gross. Is it gross?
Grandma-P
Happy Birthday! Now I must go get a paper towel to wipe the drool off my lap top. Gee thanks.
Steve Betz
Yep -- toe-knee -- chocolate and bacon.
Steve Betz

Thanks Janette!! The Beloved's actually been away on business this week, so her coming back tonight is a great present all in itself. I think we're going to treat herself to a little R&R -- after the east coast tour, I got a cold and she went on her trip -- so we're still waiting to unwind from our vacation!

The chocolate bar was actually pretty. darn. good -- especially if you like savory/sweet combos.

Cori

Happy birthday!

I must say that bacon chocolate candy might just beat out this for Things That Might Give You A Coronary.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Steve!
Steve Betz
Thanks Jay! I love bacon too much -- though I would never put it on a cheesesteak.
Steve Betz
Thanks e*c!! Once I get past this "work" stuff, it'll be great!! :D
Steve Betz
Kelly -- not gross. Good infact -- especially if you like the whole savory sweet combo. Definitely not on a healthy diet plan --- unless its your birthday too... ;)
Kelly
It not only isn't my birthday, it is far away from said birthday.
Steve Betz
Thanks Grandma-P!! A little indulgence never hurt, right??
Steve Betz
Thanks Cori!! We may have to make the bacon-weave for breakfast this weekend... that's awesome.

Happy Bday!! I think just the picture of the bacon upped my cholesterol.

Ho-lee smokes. Please let me know if that tastes how one would expect it to taste. You know, like chocolate and bacon together. Those are two of my favourite foods, but together? I don't know about that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

java janie

Happy Birthday! So where can I get myself one of these bacon/chocolate bars???

Happy Birthday! I'm not sure why you had to pick between the chocolate bar and the scotch.
Steve Betz
Thanks ED -- I think its a once-a-year treat... :)
Steve Betz
Thanks Hannah! -- if you dig the whole sweet-savory combo, its pretty darn good.
Steve Betz

Thanks Janie!! I couldn't tell you -- it was a gift from someone that clearly knows me pretty well. If I had to guess, I'd try a Whole Foods/Wild Oats sort of place... :)

Steve Betz

AKK -- even I don't have whisky for breakfast. Now brunch might have been a different matter altogether but I had to come to work... ;)

Ana Karin
:D but breakfast is such a flexible description of a meal!

[this is good]
Hahaha, love it. Happy birthday! Btw, I call myself an aspiring foodie but I still love twinkies. :)
Nacwolin
Wow, that looks really interesting! Had you had that before? How was it?

And, again, Happy Birthday!
grrrace
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

okay, so... was it like, a little bit salty, a little bit sweet???? I MUST KNOW! was it delicious?!
Emmi
[this is good]
Hey, that's funny I think I saw one of these in the health food store, of all places. Totally Happy Birthday, and I hope you're recovered from your cold! Indulge! Indulge!
Steve Betz
Thanks Christa! Funny and tasty!
Steve Betz
Thanks B!! I can recommend it!
Steve Betz
Hapa -- you're not aspiring anymore!! You're a total FOODIE (and thats a good thing) -- when I get gasoline in the mornings I sometimes get myself a chocolate milk and little donettes. I just do.
Steve Betz
Thanks N!! I had never had it before -- in fact, I'd never seen it before... it was pretty darn good. I shared it with some baconphiles at work -- its got the whole salty-savory-sweet thing going.
Steve Betz
Thanks grrrace!! It was TOTALLY a little salty a little sweet. Neither was overpowering. In fact -- early you'd taste the chocolate and at the finish you'd taste the bacon.
Steve Betz
Thanks Maya!! Some might say I over-indulged a little last night --- ;) --- but yes -- feeling better and very happy to be as young as I am!
grrrace
oooh! that sounds really good... where'd you find it? i think i need one. hehe.
Steve Betz
It was a gift -- so I can't tell you -- but my guess is Whole Foods or some upper-scale place -- maybe a chuao also.
grrrace
darn it. thanks, though! i'm going to keep my eyes open for it... i think i might love it.

steve said he had some chocolate bar that had jalapenos or chili peppers (or something hot, anyway) in it. and he said that it was surprisingly good... 2 chocolate bars i MUST FIND.
Steve Betz
Oh -- the ones with chili pepper in them are my favorite (and you can definitely get them at chuao... they have them in the oc, right?) -- also they make super awesome hot chocolate.
grrrace
it says that they sell it at whole foods and ralph's. but i haven't seen it there. although, i haven't exactly been looking either. i'll have to check the next time i go to whole foods. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! On my birthday, I ate whatever I wanted. Bad idea. I had a cholesterol blood test the next day. Results were not good. Doctor was relieved when I told him what had happened and rescheduled the test.

Maybe I should have waited to have my birthday celebration AFTER the test. Then I could have had chocolate + bacon too!!!
PinkLemonadeLady
Happy Birthday! My birthday was last Friday and I ate oysters on the half-shell, Dungeness crab and had Grand Marinier cake with the most luscious buttercream frosting EVER for dessert.
cat
That seems kinda wrong. I've never seen anything like that here. lol - just had another look, that looks awful!
Christopher Loyd
Happy birthday, sir. Go bacon!

happy Happy Birthday, Steve! :)

Happy Birthday!!!

I am a fan of Vosges. They have parties in their shops in Chicago where the let you try as many truffles as you like while you sip champagne. If you get a chance, try their ice cream (I recommend the wattleseed) - some of the specialty grocers carry it.

I saw a small Mo's bar at Whole Foods. It looked about the perfect size. Chocolate and bacon is a bit decadent, but a divine combination.

Enjoy!!
Steve Betz
Thanks Ross! Fortunately, nothing worse than my bathroom scale -- and that's enough to get me back on track -- in a day or two!
Steve Betz
Thanks PLL!! A belated happy birthday to you!! Your food treat to yourself sounds fantastic!
Steve Betz
Thanks Chris! I will definitely be keeping and eye out for more of Vosges products. You know, for those rare occasions I let myself indulge... :)
Steve Betz
Cat -- I agree, it looks wrong, but its so so right... :)
Steve Betz
CL -- thank you, sir! I think next year, I'm going to try and get bacon in every meal i have on my birthday.
Steve Betz
Thanks Ang! Its good to see you!!
Mrs. Soytastic

Even as a veg, I totally "get" this bar. It's that salty sweet combo that rocks. Good for you!

Happy Birthday Steve!

"He eats bacon at every meal!" --Billy Chrystal in City Slickers- LOL

I usually have a Zone Bar and coffee for breakfast. HBT2

Steve Betz
Coincidently Zak -- I usually have a zone-bar, coffee and a yogurt for breakfast. Great minds!

Mello
Oh man, I'm such a loser! I can't believe I missed your birthday!! I'm so sorry....but I hope it - and your chocolate bar - were good. It looks incredible to me.
Steve Betz
Thanks Mello! Both birthday and bar were really good... :D
