Chocolate Bacon?

Okay, so what  made me create this intersting combo? Well, apparently chocolate covered bacon is a delicacy? I have looked all over for it, short of ordering online, I decided I would help curb the boys' (and Best Bud's) curiosity. I made some at home.

I melted some milk chocolate in my own homemade double broiler!


 I dipped the cooked bacon in the chocolate, then put it in the freezer for a few minutes... Then we all tried a piece.
Cory and Best Bud liked it. Brian was on the fence. Sweetie and I - YUCK!

Crown Candy Kitchen

The Crown Candy Kitchen was one of the stops Best Bud said I would enjoy. WOW! She nailed it. That was the best chocolate malt I ever had.
If I ever get to bring Sweetie and the boys, two can share a malt or shake and have plenty!
The Crown Candy Kitchen was opened in 1913 and is still run by the same family today! Walking into the amazing on the corner, candy store, its like you stepped back in time.
The wooden whitewashed booths, and the Coca Cola collectibles and little jukeboxes on the tables, whisper of days gone by. There is a huge candy counter where they display all sorts of chocolates that are still made right there!
As I perused the selection, I knew to try to hold onto chocolate for the next couple of days without it melting would be quite the ordeal so I settled on bringing back to huge jawbreakers for the boys to enjoy. (Now that I'm home I checked out their website..We can't order chocolate until September due to the heat!)
