chocolate covered bacon

I like sweet and salty stuff but this is a strange combination for me. I like to eat bacon by itself and chocolate, must surely be eaten just like that (well, except as a topping on a sundae). I don't think I will buy it for myself but wouldn't mind tasting it from somebody.

Is this something that you have seen in the USA? I have not heard of this in the UK before. I love both chocolate and bacon and am intrigued as to whether this would work. The only similar thing I can think of over here has been deep fried Mars bars.

I've seen it on TV but have never tried it. I would like to though and I will make some myself sometime soon. You need a long skewer stick and you put a slice of bacon on it, how can I describe it, like stitching the stick through it. You then deep fry the bacon until it is crisp. Then you dip the bacon in melted chocolate. If you've made candy and stuff you know what I mean. Anyway, I would assume it's not something you would want to eat a lot of or very often, bet it taste evilly good.

I had never heard of chocolate covered bacon until now. Sounds like it would be something good! I will have to look for it at the next fair I go to. How long has it been around?
