NEW PRODUCT: Vosges Chocolate Bacon Pancakes
Instead of bacon with your pancakes, you can now |
What’s new in pancakes? Chocolate chip’s been done, so how about chocolate with bacon? With a chocolate bacon craze sweeping the nation, it was only time before Vosges Haut Chocolat, the makers of Mo’s Bacon Bar (our favorite bacon chocolate—applewood-smoked bacon, alderwood-smoked salt and 41% dark milk chocolate) figured out what else to do with it besides mold it into an adorable winged pig.
You can now buy Vosges’ buttermilk pancake mix, dotted with chunks of Mo’s Bacon Bar. Or, buy the candy bar directly and chip it into your own pancake recipe. It’s a fun hostess gift, and it may even be “Man Bait,” as our friends at Das Foods, makers of the Maple Bacon lollipop (and other “shamelessly delicious” lollipops—stay tuned), might call it. A container of Mo’s Bacon Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix is $12.00 and makes two batches of eight, five-inch pancakes. Can you have extra bacon on the side? Absolutely! Try some artisan bacon brand, though. If you don’t already buy it, you’re in for a real treat. It tastes so much better than mass-marketed brands. Now we’re waiting for the chocolate bacon ice cream. |

Oh man I have to try this. Never heard of Vosges – is it new?
Wonder what would happen if I added added choc and bacon to my lazy guy Batter Blaster organic instant pancakes?
I guess there’s only one way to find out!!

Tommy,
We put chocolate chunks in our pancakes all the time. But if you’re going to all the trouble to make crisp bacon, you might want to keep it on the side—i.e., crisp.
Vosges Haut Chocolat has been around for a while, but you’d need to go to specialty chocolate shops, or their own boutiques in Chicago, New York or Las Vegas for a Vosges store. Or, see the line at http://www.vosgeschocolate.com.
