We had bacon wrapped hot dogs at a campfire once, that was something special. You can make just about anything better by wrapping it in bacon.

what about bacon-wrapped bacon?
That sounds like more bacon, and we all know that's better! :thumb:

But it's pretty hard isn't it? Bacon-wrapped chocolate doesn't sound too good. Bacon-wrapped tofu might taste ok but then a bunch of hippies would have to kill you.

Barbecued Alaska
At the Beach, Ice Cream Flavors That May Be Hard to Swallow

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. -- Forget that "I scream, you scream" nonsense. A block from Rehoboth Beach's grainy sands and churning waves, where beachgoers are baking on a Tuesday afternoon in a 95-degree swelter, Udder Delight Ice Cream House is busy scooping ice cream flavors so outlandish it makes some of its chill-seekers scream, all right.

"Uh, it tastes a little too much like barbecue," says bikini-topped Franny Linus, 25, staring at a creamy beige concoction on a plastic spoon. She grimaces the way people do when sizing up something really weird.

On a day trip from Bear, Del., Linus and her friend Leigh Ann McDonough, 24, flip-flopped into the otherwise old-fashioned ice cream parlor thinking icy-cold mango smoothies. But Udder Delight owner Chip Hearn steered them to an impromptu taste test of his newest creations -- one of which may be the world's first barbecue-flavored ice cream. The other test flavors: a chunky bacon ice cream and a pale-red Cackalacky Spice Sauce ice cream.

Linus licks the bacon ice cream. "Not bad," she says. But she's not big on the frozen bits of bacon. McDonough thinks it tastes a little like butter pecan and kind of likes it.

Studying their reactions are Hearn and his barbecuing and brainstorming partner, H. Page Skelton.

Wearing a denim "Cackalacky" logo apron and a white 10-gallon cowboy hat, Skelton is the president of the Cackalacky Classic Condiment Co. in Chapel Hill, N.C. He drove up this week for the unveiling of this oddball ice cream made with his award-winning sauce, typically poured over North Carolina pork barbecue. Skelton and Hearn, 52, like to travel the nation's competitive barbecue circuit together.

"Bacon and butterfat, what could be better? The stuff should come with CPR instructions," jokes Skelton, 37, watching the young women sample the next sample -- spicy-hot ice cream with a vinegar aftertaste.<snip>

I'll bet bacon wrapped choc would be good. You just would have to pick the right kind of chocolate. Maybe bittersweet dark choc? :drool:
