ode to CCB

i was clicking through my list of websites that i check on a daily basis….when suddenly… my whole life changed.

over here at this great blog, i found a post about chocolate covered bacon. at first i thought…. ew….. then i thought.. hmm… i love bacon… i love chocolate…. so why wouldn’t i love chocolate covered bacon?

so, tonight i walked to our local market and picked up some chocolate chips to make my own batch of ccb.

after whipping up my first batch of ccb, the ’skis sampled the new treat.

the verdict: incredible. pow! my taste buds leaped with gladness as they greeted the sweetness, then the saltiness, then the sweetness again. the perfect blend of sweet and salty. a happy marriage of calories and saturated fat. (i calculated each slice to have 110 calories and 7.5 grams of fat).

at first glance, i thought this was a crazy idea that no one would dare to recreate. however, it seems that ccb is much more common than i thought.
