“Muffin”, the author of the blog Ooh, You Tasty Little Things… (a blog that since has been closed), wrote:
This whole thing started the other night when my husband and I were having a conversation about what foods could and could not be made better with the addition of bacon.
You can see the end result of said conversation in the photos that accompany her article, Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Glaze, some of which are reproduced here.
She says they taste good — and why not? She’s not the only person who’s mixed bacon and chocolate: consider the bacon chocolate bar created by Vosges, the gourmet chocolatier and heartily recommended by none other than supersexy celebrity chef Nigella Lawson.
Luckily for those of us with brave culinary spirits, “Muffin” published the recipe for the cookies and the glaze. Who wants to try making a batch of these with me over the Chrismukkah break?

I’d be willing to make them for you however you called Nigella Lawson a “chef.”
I’m not even scared of these cookies. They do pour maple syrup over bacon, so I believe chocolate shouldn’t be that different. We would have to adapt them to my dietary conditions, though.
Guess what I’ll be making to celebrate the end of exams?
The maple is perfect to tie the two together. And chocolate and salty are an excellent combo (think chocolate covered pretzels).
Not so crazy after all, methinks.
EWW
Eww They Look Horrible.
Omg. :S
BOOO. The website for the recipe is deader than a doornail. Does anyone have this recipe that they could share?

That blogger’s recipe was so popular that she got her own domain: http://neverbashfulwithbutter.com/food/2008/03/01/experiments-in-deliciousness-bacon-chocolate-chip-cookies-with-maple-cinnamon-glaze/
OMG tastes like yo mama
i’m actually eating Mo’s Bacon Bar by Vosges Haut-Chocolate, and it’s actually a wonderful thing! People used to think salted caramels were absurd and now it’s a huge trend, the Bacon Chocolate trend is just a step further, with the caramel notes in the milk chocolate and the saltiness of bacon with the added sea salt all blend well. So now, I think making it into a cookie is a wonderful idea! Although, I do think I would put bacon bits IN the cookie rather than decorate the cookie with a chunk of bacon.
