Question of the hour...

What do you get a man for a basically “girly holiday” like Valentine’s Day? (Which, by the way, is a week from Sunday…you have been reminded.) Now, now ladies, don’t get defensive because I called Valentine’s Day “girly” – you know deep down I am right on the money. Guys (as a whole) could care less about this over-commercialized day of candy and flowers… therefore, I consider it a girly-type holiday.

Be that as it may, most of us with partners of some sort buy a little something for them on Valentine’s Day… ‘Cause that’s how we roll.

So, what do you get “The Guy” for Valentine’s Day? Do you go with the silk boxers with lil’ hearts again that he sincerely hates but would probably never say? Tickets to a ball game might be nice – if it were baseball season, that is.

Here’s an idea… how about chocolate? No, no, no not just ANY ol’ chocolate…I’m talking Exotic chocolate.

Working on the “man” premise that “everything goes better with bacon”… May I present Mo’s Chocolate Bacon Bar. Yes, you read that right – Chocolate with BACON!




Made by Vosges Haut-Chocolat (out of Chicago), Mo’s Chocolate Bar comes in both milk and dark chocolate varieties.

Here’s what the Vosges web-site says about it…

“Breathe…engage your five senses, close your eyes and inhale deeply. Be in the present moment; notice the color of the chocolate, the glossy shine. Rub your thumb over the chocolate bar to release the aromas of smoked applewood bacon flirting with deep milk chocolate. Snap off just a tiny piece and place it in your mouth, let the lust of salt and sweet coat your tongue.”

Is that sexy, or what? I’m not even a guy and that description makes me wanna run out now and buy a case… right now!

Vosges has over a dozen flavors of exotic chocolate like:

Ginger, wasabi, and black sesame seeds

Cardamom with walnuts and dried plums

Sweet Indian curry and coconut

Mexican ancho and chipotle chilies

There are a few I’d love to try myself, but I gotta admit, the bacon one sounds like heaven.

Check it out for yourself
