Decadent BBQ Pastries

The Chocolate Eclair Hot Dog is Strange But Delicious

If you're a fan of carnival treats and everything sweet and savory, then you should check out The Chocolate Eclair Hot Dog. This bizarre combination comes from Maple Lodge Farms in Canada. If you're feeling like stuffing your face with a classic BBQ treat and a delicious dessert at the same time then this is the dish for you.

The Chocolate Eclair Hot Dog, as unbelievable as it might be, is exactly how it sounds. Instead of using a regular bread bun, Maple Lodge Farms decided to use a chocolate eclair, then stuffed in the middle is a barbecued hot dog. Finally, rather than being topped with ketchup and mustard, it's covered with whip cream.

If you're the adventurous type and you're looking for something crazy and new to try, then you should try making one of these at home.
