Mo's Bacon Bars: Exotic Bacon and Chocolate Bars Drawing Internet Fans

If you were looking for the coupon code for Vosges' Mo's Bacon Bar, it just expired a few days ago, but fear not! The regular price is only $7.50 (mini $2.50) for the 41% cacao milk chocolate with applewood smoked bacon treat. Once again, this unusual item is drawing web searchers looking for the best price and a nearby location where they can buy it. Chocolate fans, gourmets and unbelievers are trying a bar and reporting their results on blogs, news and review sites.

Mo's Bacon Bar has been taking the web by storm as people are first skeptical about its existence, then question whether it's really edible, then wonder how they can get more! Finding its source also leads to a wonderful chocolatier founded by a Cordon Bleu graduate, and a variety of other treats which in the bacon department also includes a bacon and chocolate chip pancake mix.

Vosges also offers unusual chocolate items such as their drinkable 'Chocolate Stout' and 'Red Fire' spicy toffee, which includes, according to their website, ancho and chipotle chilies, dark chocolate, Ceylon cinnamon, Red Fire pecans all in a sweet butter toffee. Other 'bar' offerings include ones with exotic mushrooms, goji berries and pink Himalayan salt, and a variety of spicy combinations from Mexican to Creole.

The exotic ingredients are not meant to join the cast of the ''revolting confectioneries'' of Monty Python's comedy sketch, these are real taste treats even if some might be acquired tastes. Bringing exotic ingredients to the American consumer, Vosges also offers classics everyone will enjoy, from chocolate and peanut butter combinations to truffles and even sugar free bars.

The founder of the company that brings you Mo's Bacon Bar, Katrina Markoff, brings her Cordon Bleu training to her Chicago-based company which has boutique stores in Chicago, New York and elsewhere. She has worked around the globe, and combines a variety of influences in her chocolates, personally choosing the ingredients that blend to such unique and surprising flavors.

Mo's Bacon Bar and other Vosges products are available from their website, from Amazon.com and a variety of specialty shops online and in major cities. Bloggers online have also noted that they are finding Mo's Bacon Bars at Whole Foods stores.
