Being a vegetarian, I won't be sampling any chocolate bar with the word
bacon on its packaging, but I had to post it because it's just so odd! I will admit, that after I thought about it for a minute, I decided that it probably does have a really great flavor, but maybe that's because I'm a sucker for all things sweet and salty. At the very least, it would be interesting! If you prefer a little less meat with your chocolate, Vosges offers a slew of interesting
bars. There is chocolate with mushrooms, chocolate with wasabi, and chocolate with curry, among others.
For truffle lovers, the
Aztec Collection offers up chilies and cinnamon, while the
Zion Collection includes allspice, pumpkin seed, and ginger. Don't even get me started on the
ice cream and
brownies, both of which include equally unusual items in their ingredient lists. If you're tired of boring old chocolate, then definitely check out
Vosges Haut-Chocolat. You can find their stores in Chicago, New York, and Las Vegas or you can click

I'm pretty taken with the frosting on these cupcakes by Sugar Bliss Cake Boutique in Chicago. Cupcakes have been everywhere for the past decade, so it's nice to see a new design option for this classic sweet.
Sugar Bliss offers more than 20 varities of cupcakes, with flavors ranging from cinnamon carrot to orange creamsicle and everything in between. They also carry breakfast cupcakes like apple cinnamon and berry berry. In addition, if you're jonzing for a sugar rush, you can also order up a frosting shot, for those who are so inclined. Personally, I prefer my frosting on cake, but I know people who can't resisit a shot of frosting in the middle of the day! Click here to visit their Web site and to order online.
