I love bacon and I love chocolate, so I will most definitely love Chocolate Covered Bacon. Although Trend Hunter Amanda Chang wrote about a similar DIY dish, this treat is as easy as pushing a button.
Made by the Marini family, Chocolate Covered Bacon is available in both milk and dark chocolate and priced at only $9 for half a pound on their online store. The company also offers chocolate-covered bacon mixed in with maple syrup ice cream. If you're ever in Santa Cruz, make sure to stop by their shop for a taste.
