FYI – Bacon Bar
Nov 26, 2007 general food, groceries
| As a heads up, if you missed it on the first go ’round, the Vosges Mo’s Bacon Bar is back at Whole Foods.
Although I still think it was a criminal omission to leave out the maple syrup, I’ll admit, upon further consumption (following their detailed instructions to a “T”), its bizarre smoky quality along with the saltiness has really grown on me. One still being enough, I hoped I could conjure up the same sort of feeling without the odd taste of bacon when I instead purchased the Barcelona Bar. It’s hickory smoked almonds, grey sea salt, and deep milk chocolate offered exactly the saltiness I was hoping for, but I can’t taste a single hint of smoke on the almonds. Someone should make me a chocolate bar with just smoked salt in it; I think that would really work nicely. Anyone? |

I haven\’t tried any of those fancy bars, but they sound swesome. I\’ll have to look for them. Though I\’ve never been in whole foods, can you believe it?!
the descriptions reminded me of one of my favorite treats..hot/warm crusty bread drizzled with olive oil, topped with a hunk of good chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. *drool* Do that with your smoked salt! I bet it\’d be even better.

at first, i thought this combination of flavors sounded repulsive — then i thought about it again, and i can’t wait to track one of these bars down.
