And that includes the bacon flavour, which I tried tonight! Not cheap! The tiny mini-bars are $3.99; the full size are something like $13 The bacon bar was 'interesting'. I don't know that I'd crave another one so much as to pay the steep asking price; but it wasn't 1/2 bad. Quite a curious taste blend. Far more chocolate that bacon; but the fried pork is unmistakably there. For those on the look out, they're hiding it on the shelving in front of the coffee bar. *** Also picked up the curry flavour..... will try it tomorrow. Hey All;

The bacon bar was ‘interesting’. I don’t know that I’d crave another one so much as to pay the steep asking price; but it wasn’t 1/2 bad.

Quite a curious taste blend. Far more chocolate that bacon; but the fried pork is unmistakably there.

For those on the look out, they’re hiding it on the shelving in front of the coffee bar.

Also picked up the curry flavour….. will try it tomorrow.

I'll have to get off the bike and explore one day. I ride past the Summerhill Market almost every day, but it never occurred to me that they might have bacon chocolate bars in there.

I know Summerhill Market has/had them. That's the well hidden upscale market in Rosedale, on Summerhill Avenue. There's also an excellent selection of weird chocolate flavours at Puseteri's, at Bay/Yorkville, I tried a different brand, which had an Apple Crumble flavour. It was nice, though in truth, I only tasted the cinnamon. If your into expensive chocolates, you should try SOMA in the distillery district, I love their Balsamic Vinegar truffles!

The truly impressive thing is how they managed to squeeze 35g of carbs into a 32g serving and still have room for 7g of fat. It's all that bacony goodness, I tell you.

How many grams of fat per serving? Also check out the recipe for Bacon Bar - Stuffed Dates, under the concierge tab in the link you provide to the site. It involves the chocolate bar, sausage and additional bacon! Yummmm! Val, you must give us the nutritional info for this baby! How many grams of fat per serving?
