Chocolate loves bacon

Bacon Truffle from Xocolatl de David

It may sound like a bizarre combo, but bacon and chocolate love each other. Just ask anyone who has tried Xocolatl de David’s bacon infused caramel chocolate truffle.

I was introduced to this perfect match at a salt and chocolate tasting at The Meadow. At first bite, the truffle is sweet, but then the smokiness of the bacon kicks in. The taste experience ends on a sweet, salty note from the crunchy candied bacon on top. And don’t worry, there is no fatty piece of bacon in the middle; the caramel is infused with applewood smoked bacon flavor.

If you like bacon and chocolate, then try this truffle. It’s so potent that you may need a moment to sit down.
