I recently tried Mo’s Bacon Bar and I too found myself in sweet/savory nirvana! What an amazing perfectly balanced treat! I am a total sucker for sweet & savory combos. I can totally relate with the Cheetos/cookies snack. I used to get the Cinnamon twists and a side of their nacho cheese to dip them in. Delicious!

Holy COW! What a coincidence! I live in Ann Arbor and I did a consulting project for the Mo of Bacon Chocolate Fame this spring! In the rest of my life, I faithfully follow the protein power lifestyle.

But anyway, this is an amazing coincidence, and i’d like to point out that you can order these from Mo himself at zingermans.com along with lots of other tasty delights.

I love this stuff. I saw it in the grocery store and thought it would be disgusting. But someone brought a bar to a dinner party and I tried a little bite. Pure heaven! The bacon flavor is distinct but not overwhelming… a perfect combination of sweet, salty and savory. And because it is so intense, I find that one square is entirely satisfying. Also, at $6.99/bar, there is no chance I’m gonna binge on it…

Hi Cindy here and I am doing The Cure .I’d like to know mainly because I’m 5′ft 1′in tall medium small build if the shakes are suppose to have close to 450 calories in them . My shake mix is 110 cal per scoop and 1gm carb and I use 2 scoops for my current weight of 156 lbs . Then there is the 2 Tbs cream at 100 cal plus the Dag about 35 cal per tsp and the raw egg 80 cal if I use one in all 3 shakes, which I know I don’t have to and it all adds up to 435 cal . When you add this up 3x it comes out to 1305 cal . Then there is the one meal per day and that adds up to about 450 cal with a total cal count of 1755 . Can that amount of calories still allow weight loss in the first 2 weeks ?

COMMENT from MD EADES: I would not necessarily use the egg unless you don’t have another source of cholesterol in your diet. It’s mainly meant for people who don’t eat red meat or eggs otherwise. And I would drop your protein to 1 1/2 scoops instead of 2.

After reading your post, I noticed the Vosges Mo Bacon bar in my local store and immediately bought it, eager to try. I thought it tasted good, but wished it had been made with dark chocolate. I have grown unaccustomed to the sickly sweetness of milk chocolate so it ruined the fun. My husband, on the other hand, thought it was the most despicable thing one could ever consume. Oh well.
So – will want a dark (70% cacao or more) chocolate with MORE bacon. *That* would be heaven.

COMMENT from MD EADES: I believe the do have a dark chocolate version on their website, but I’ve not seen it in my store locally.

Vosges is originally from Chicago and I’ve been a big fan. If you’re stuck in O’Hare during the winter, they have a small store in Terminal 1 (United).

I eat them to fast to read the back cover but there is now a dark chocolate version that just came out a few months ago which should have less sugar.

It’s not an original idea by any means. I think the dessert recipe I saw was in the NY Times. They posted a video from a restaurant in CA that made a multi-layered chocolate bar with bacon.

The trick to the bacon is to mince it very, very finely and use only the best bacon.

I’m betting that someone will come up with a low carb version if enough people demand it. Maybe the chocoperfection people.

I’ve been toying with a low carb bacon brownie, but I’m still stumped by the sweetener.

I thought this would be Heaven but it lacked any serious BACON. Better off frying some bacon and then on wax paper dizzle melted (Dark) choc over it. YUM

I saw that the other day at World Market! My husband and I took pictures of it because of how unbelievable it was, especially given that I have switched to paleo eating. But I thought it would be disgusting, so I put it down. I may have to rethink that decision…
