Yes, such a thing as chocolate covered bacon exists! Fall Festival chow, I might add, but apparently it is a favorite on some of the BBQ competition circuits, based on the sign on the trailer selling it.
I saw their sign, and immediately thought of one of my favorite bloggers, Brigid, who is well known for her love of bacon, among other things!
