A photo from this year's N.C. State Fair that I almost lost (click it to embiggen):
The only pigs I've ever licked were dead, and I only licked pieces that were cooked, or mostly so. Please feel free to enlighten me, O fairgoers.
I'm pretty sure that was the chocolate-covered bacon. Didn't try it for myself, though.

Yes, it was the chocolate-covered bacon, and (if you like bacon, and chocolate) it was pretty good. I mean, dang, it was chocolate & bacon. In pretty good ratio to each other. You missed out, Joe! (and Sarah!)

I had the chocolate bacon, and personally, I thought it was just "ok".
I think bacon would best be combined with caramel and some coarse (sea or kosher) salt.
